Twilight Talks & Presentations Series: The Web They Wove
2026-04-15 18:00 - 19:30
The Web They Wove
Women & their Wardrobes during New England’s Revolution.
Underpinning the sensationalism of battle reports & broadsides is the often silent steadiness of women’s work with textiles. The choices they made every day about fashion and fabric consumption & creation drove the course of Revolution just as determinedly as any congress. As southern New England commemorates the 250th anniversary (semiquincentennial) of the War for Independence, it is these local lives dressed in fulled wool or spun silk that continue to inspire creativity, resilience, and empathy in us today.
From the mythology of homespun to legends of midnight rides in red cloaks & calashes, the Dirty Blue Shirts share stories of women who waged war on multiple fronts as well as a look at what they wore as their worlds turn’d upside down.
This program is presented by Rebecca Bayreuther Donohue & Amanda Flynn Rumney and includes reproduction clothing pieces & fabric samples as well as a PowerPoint presentation with images of extant originals.
