Coffee & Conversation: Lucy Larcom, Beyond Her Words
From publicly posted calendar Checked 13 hours ago
About this event
One of 16 upcoming events at Historic Beverly, and 3,024 across Greater Boston.
Join us for this month’s Coffee & Conversation as we get to know Lucy Larcom beyond her writing, and reclaim her story right here in Beverly.
In the mid-1800s, Lucy Larcom was an unusual woman: she supported herself through teaching, writing, and editing at a time when few women worked outside the home, and even fewer gained national notice. Before she became a published author, Larcom was a person, quietly independent, self-directed, and determined to shape her own life. Yet that part of her story is often overlooked.
Many people associate Larcom with Lowell, from Lucy Larcom Park to her well-known connections there. But did you know Lucy Larcom was born in Beverly? Over Coffee & Conversation, we’ll explore her life beyond the page and reflect on what her independence meant in her own time and what it can still mean today.
Come curious, bring a friend, and meet Lucy Larcom beyond her words.
Coffee & Conversation are held every second Friday at 10:00 am at the Cabot House
Admission is free; $5 suggested donation. Coffee provided by https://www.beantrustcoffee.com/
