“A woman ought to tell her husband everything—don’t you think so, dear?” In the shadow of Dracula, London wrestled with fears of the “New Woman.” This lecture explores how Bram Stoker’s novel shaped the cultural anxieties Juliette Gordon Low encountered as she stepped into a city—and a century—on the edge of transformation.

Join us for our October Lecture Series - Monsters and Manuscripts - where lecturers explore topics related to identity, gender, and society in the Progressive Era through the lens of the occult, folklore, and horror literature. After each lecture, we will host a Q&A meet and greet in the garden with thematic refreshments. 

This event is $10 and open to the public. Members of Circle of Friends have free admission. Registration required.
