Zoom Talk by Jennifer Dasal.
"The Club in Paris".
August 5, 2026 7 pm EST

Curator of modern and contemporary art, and host of the independent podcast ArtCurious. She lectures frequently on art, both locally and nationally. Jennifer will talk about the American Girls' Club in Paris, a real, yet little-known, residence that provided a safe and supportive community for American women artists from 1893 to 1914. The book details how this club offered lodging, studio space, and a social network for women seeking art education and opportunities denied to them at home, featuring figures like Gertrude Stein and Emmeline Pankhurst and highlighting the struggles and triumphs of these pioneering women.
