This event will be a discussion with the author about her book led by author Anna Redsand. There will also be time for Q & A from the audience. \n\n\n\nSeven women raise a child together while redefining their place in society at the beginning of the Women’s Movement in Denmark in the 1970sOn New Year’s Eve in Copenhagen in 1972\, seven women had a child together: one gave birth and six others attended. They had met a year earlier at a feminist women’s camp on a small island and now\, with about twenty other women’s liberationists\, they occupied three dilapidated apartment buildings in the center of Copenhagen. One became the country’s first Women’s House\, the nerve center of the Women’s Movement in Denmark\, and the other two were women-only communal living spaces that were Pernille Ipsen’s first home. In this intimate portrait of life during the exhilarating early days of women’s liberation in Scandinavia and dramatic social change around the globe\, she tells the stories of these seven women\, her seven mothers. \n\n\n\nRecounting her mothers’ history—from the passions and beliefs they shared to the political divisions over sexual identity that ultimately split them apart—Ipsen captures the individuality of each of her mothers as well as the common experiences that drew them together. As she deftly reflects the practical and emotional realities of her mothers’ women-centered life\, Ipsen presents an engrossing picture of intersecting lives that\, half a century ago\, raised questions we still grapple with today: What is a family? Who is a woman? And who gets to decide?  \n\n\n\nA chronicle of gender\, sexuality\, and feminism as it was constructed\, contested\, and lived\, My Seven Mothers is an eye-opening account of the challenges and possibilities connected with liberation and radical social change during the 1970s. In this time of fierce struggles over family\, sexuality\, and child-rearing\, it reminds us that new worlds are always possible. \n\n\n\nCan’t make it to this event? We will have a second opportunity also on the 20th\, at 6:00 pm in Des Moines at Barnes & Noble on University Ave. \n\n\n\nThe Brown Bag Lunch Series is a free monthly speaker series sponsored by Dennis Andersen URL:https://www.danishmuseum.org/event/brown-bag-lunch-5/ LOCATION:Museum of Danish America\, 2212 Washington Street\, Elk Horn\, IA\, 51531\, United States CATEGORIES:Brown Bag Lunch Series ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.danishmuseum.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/9781517917791-e1758809418483.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251016T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251016T130000 DTSTAMP:20260427T081826 CREATED:20250324T184952Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250829T135229Z UID:4160-1760616000-1760619600@www.danishmuseum.org SUMMARY:Brown Bag Lunch - "Beyond the Veil: Victorian Funeral Practices" Presented by Anna Thomas DESCRIPTION:Step back in time with our Youth and Community Educator\, Anna Thomas\, to the Victorian Era (1820-1914). In this presentation\, you will learn about the shift in attitudes toward death and mourning with popular topics such as post-mortem death photography\, the rural cemetery movement\, tombstone symbolism\, grave robbers\, Victorian mourning clothing\, and much more. \n\n\n\nThe Brown Bag Lunch Series is a free monthly speaker series sponsored by Dennis Andersen URL:https://www.danishmuseum.org/event/brown-bag-lunch-beyond-the-veil-victorian-funeral-practices-presented-by-anna-thomas/ LOCATION:Museum of Danish America\, 2212 Washington Street\, Elk Horn\, IA\, 51531\, United States CATEGORIES:Brown Bag Lunch Series END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250918T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250918T130000 DTSTAMP:20260427T081826 CREATED:20250324T184514Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250903T175617Z UID:4157-1758196800-1758200400@www.danishmuseum.org SUMMARY:Brown Bag Lunch - "The Danish Windmill's Danish History\, 1846–1975\,” with Shaun Sayres.
