SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk: On a Mission: The History of US Women Astronauts with Smithsonian Curator Emerita Valerie Neal
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER & SUBMIT QUESTIONS HERE \nvia Digital Livestream or on Demand \nJoin us for an exhilarating journey through the history of US women astronauts with Valerie Neal\, emerita curator from the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum and expert on human spaceflight. \nSally Ride became a household name as the first American woman in space\, but scores of equally impressive women have also left their mark in space. On a Mission: The Smithsonian History of US Women Astronauts spans 45 years and 61 astronauts to share the epic journeys of women who made space for themselves in a male-dominated field. \nValerie Neal interviewed many of the US women astronauts to bring their experiences to life. She offers a culturally insightful history of their achievements\, the challenges they’ve faced\, and their distinctive stories. Collectively\, they’ve completed more than 100 space shuttle missions\, and more than 30 long-duration stays on the International Space Station and Russian Space Station Mir\, and they continue to prove themselves in present-day space exploration efforts. \nThe book includes 50 black-and-white photographs to complement the historical account. With its sweeping look from the first women astronauts to Christina Hammock Koch\, assigned to the first crewed Artemis mission around the Moon\, there is no comparably thorough book on America’s women astronauts. On a Mission is an inspiring tribute to unsung women’s history. \nRegister now to take part in this inspirational discussion! \nAbout the Author: Valerie Neal is a space historian and Curator Emerita at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington DC. Her specialty is human spaceflight\, space technology\, and space science in the Space Shuttle era and beyond. At the Museum\, she collected more than 1500 artifacts of the shuttle era\, curated three exhibitions and eight documentary programs for the Smithsonian Channel (cable TV)\, published books and articles growing from her research\, lectured in the USA and abroad\, and gave many interviews for US and international media. \nBefore joining the Museum\, she was a writer and editor for some 25 NASA publications on Space Shuttle and Spacelab missions\, the Hubble Space Telescope and other Great Observatories\, space science\, and NASA History. She participated in underwater astronaut training in Alabama and mission support in Houston for four Space Shuttle missions. She has taught American Studies and writing courses at multiple universities. Valerie Neal holds Ph.D. and M.A. degrees in American Studies and a B.A. degree in English and History.

SUMMARY:Julien Levy: Life\, Legacy\, and the Women Artists He Championed
DESCRIPTION:Julien Levy: Life\, Legacy\, and the Women Artists He Championed\nRegistration required. RSVP below. \nThe presentation will be led by Marie Difilippantonio\, co-author of the four-volume publication Julien Levy: The Man; His Gallery; His Legacy. The program will explore the life and influence of Julien Levy (1906–1981)\, the pioneering art dealer widely credited with introducing Surrealism to the United States through his influential New York gallery during the 1930s and 1940s. A resident of Bridgewater later in life\, Levy continued to promote Surrealist art\, becoming a significant figure in the history of the movement in his own right. \nWhile Levy is often remembered for exhibiting artists such as Salvador Dalí and Man Ray\, he was also notable for championing a number of women artists at a time when opportunities for them were limited. This program will highlight several of the women whose work Levy supported and examine their contributions to modern art. \nSpeaker Marie Difilippantonio brings a unique perspective to Levy’s story. She holds a bachelor’s degree in history from Mercer University and began working for Jean Farley Levy\, Julien Levy’s widow\, in 1985. After Jean Levy’s death in 2003\, Difilippantonio helped facilitate the auctions of the Levy art collection\, books\, and ephemera held at Tajan in Paris in 2004 and 2006. She also catalogued and prepared a finding aid for the Levy archival papers before they were donated to the Philadelphia Museum of Art in 2008. \n
