The Women's Workroom

Title

The Women's Workroom

Description

The Women’s Workroom, a space of continuous sewing, mending, knitting, and quilting, serves to discuss the mother as the “family seamstress”, a never-ending task with growing children and changing seasons. As evidenced from the family letters, this room was most likely the bedroom of Seabrook and family, during her early years of marriage.
