Memories of when I was working at Lincoln Center in NYC a year ago with my love, @oanabotez. “Bull in a China Shop” was inspired by Mary Woolley’s and Jeannette Marks’ letter and relationship.
Mary Woolley was a woman’s suffragette supporter and served as the president of Mount Holyoke College. Nationally, she worked with President Hoover and F.D.R. on topics like women’s rights, pacifism, and the League of Nations. Most notably, she was appointed by Hoover to serve as one of the very few women (if not the only) at the Conference on Reduction and Limitation of Armaments to hopefully 
counteract Nazi Germany. During all of this time, there was an exchange of letters between her and her partner, Jeanette Marks, which are some of the most beautiful writings I’ve read (https://transcribe.mtholyoke.edu/collections/show/1). LGBTQ+ individuals have always been present in society, you just have to find them. (I also met Gloria Steinem so that was cool too.) #LGBTQexperiencesUSA #LGBT #suffrage #lincolncenter #bullinachinashop #theater #nyc #teamcostumes #feminism
