Revolutionary Impressions: Women in the 19th Century Trades
Mackenzie House Museum staff
Join us for a walk through Toronto's historical printing district!
In the 19th century, women in Toronto began to enter into the printing industry. 'Revolutionary Impressions' sheds light on the pioneering roles of women during this century, from trailblazing publishers and editors like Mary Bibb, Sophia Dalton, and Mary Ann Shadd Cary, to the diligent compositors on the printshop floors, and onto the entrepreneurial spirits like Mary O. Augusta who led the way as business owners.
This walk celebrates the growing influence and presence of women in Toronto's workforce, marking a significant chapter in the city's history.
