Lecture and Private View of A Pressing Call: Five Centuries of Women Printing

February 11, 2025 / 6:00pm - 9:00pm

Joseph Regenstein Library

Elizabeth Frengel and Rebecca Flore, co-curators, will present a lecture on the Library's winter exhibition, A Pressing Call: Five Centuries of Women Printing. The exhibition explores the significant (but often silent) contributions women have made to printing and book production, from women who led printing houses in sixteenth-century Europe to present-day book artists who use historical hand-printing techniques to materially enhance the meanings of the texts they create.

Invitations will be sent by email to the Library's donor community. If you would like to make a donation to the Library and be part of this celebration event, please contact development@lib.uchicago.edu.
