Here’s this month’s little bit of history, Part VII in our series from the San Juan Historical Museum…
International Women’s Day is observed by the United Nations each year on March 8, and so our subject this month is island women. We think of this image as “Friends before Facebook” and invite you to note the stylish attire of Marian Hannah, Alma Boyce and Edna Wright, as pictured. Most of us can remember such 20th century fashions, while some of us are still wearing them as retro style choices. What’s in your closet or attic? More of this, we hope. The San Juan Historical Museum represents all eras of island life. Learn more at www.sjmuseum.org.
