On Sunday October 15, 2017 at 1:15 p.m. Cathy Moran Hajo, archive director of the Mahwah Museum, will present a gallery talk about the role women in Mahwah played during WWI. This Talk will take place in the upstairs gallery of the Mahwah Museum.
The First World War came at a time when women’s roles were undergoing great change.
The War opened new opportunities for women of all classes to make substantial contributions to the war effort.
Cathy will, in her talk, explore the ways that Mahwah women participated in military service, relief work both at home and abroad, and undertook factory work to replace men in service.
