Flappers: Fashion and Freedom | 10:00am - | Sports and Recreation, Fashion and Freedom
- In this key moment in our national history and the struggle for women’s equality and freedom of expression, the Fairfield Museum’s exhibition “Flappers: Fashion and Freedom,” examines the history and social impact of fashion and its relationship to the women’s movement of the 1920s. On the heels of World War I and the winning of suffrage, a rise of consumer culture included mass-produced images from movies, advertisements, and magazines in a way that had never before shaped an era of American womanhood. Drawing on the Fairfield Museum’s rich costume collection, this exhibition raises questions about the relationships between the “New Woman”, and the representations of freedom of movement, behavior, and thought that defined modern American womanhood and the “Flapper” culture and lifestyle. On view through January 27, 2019.Fairfield Museum and History Center

Flappers: Fashion and Freedom | 10:00am - | Sports and Recreation, Fashion and Freedom
- In this key moment in our national history and the struggle for women’s equality and freedom of expression, the Fairfield Museum’s exhibition “Flappers: Fashion and Freedom,” examines the history and social impact of fashion and its relationship to the women’s movement of the 1920s. On the heels of World War I and the winning of suffrage, a rise of consumer culture included mass-produced images from movies, advertisements, and magazines in a way that had never before shaped an era of American womanhood. Drawing on the Fairfield Museum’s rich costume collection, this exhibition raises questions about the relationships between the “New Woman”, and the representations of freedom of movement, behavior, and thought that defined modern American womanhood and the “Flapper” culture and lifestyle.

Science Readers Discussion Group: Anti-Science Thinking | 7:00pm - 8:30pm | Special Interest, Science, Discussion
- How does one decide on science issues? You probably use shortcuts such as previous experiences, rules of thumb (heuristics), evidence that supports your decision or perhaps thinking that others would approve.
This month, science readers think about the science of NOT believing in science. We will read the July 2018 Scientific American article about, “The Science of Anti-Science Thinking,” by D.T. Kenrick et. al. The discussion will call on experiments done in the past about how people make decisions, such as those that maintain the anti-science community. Ruth Light will review the ground-breaking work of Tversky and Kahnemann that started 50 years ago.
Admission is Free. 7 p.m. dinner and program. Contributions and memberships welcome. Food and drink can be purchased directly from the restaurant from their menu. Silver Star Diner, 210 Connecticut Avenue, Norwalk, CT
Science Readers is open to HFFC members and first time attendees. RSVP at click for details or email hffc@optonline.net subject line “Think RSVP”.

Flappers: Fashion and Freedom | 10:00am - | Sports and Recreation, Fashion and Freedom
- In this key moment in our national history and the struggle for women’s equality and freedom of expression, the Fairfield Museum’s exhibition “Flappers: Fashion and Freedom,” examines the history and social impact of fashion and its relationship to the women’s movement of the 1920s. On the heels of World War I and the winning of suffrage, a rise of consumer culture included mass-produced images from movies, advertisements, and magazines in a way that had never before shaped an era of American womanhood. Drawing on the Fairfield Museum’s rich costume collection, this exhibition raises questions about the relationships between the “New Woman”, and the representations of freedom of movement, behavior, and thought that defined modern American womanhood and the “Flapper” culture and lifestyle.
