Dalnavert’s Pink Tea on March 9th is a tea party in the tradition of the “pink teas” hosted by suffragists in the early 20th century, in celebration of International Women’s Day.
Pink teas were gatherings hosted by women as a covert way of meeting to discuss strategy, flying under the radar as a social gathering rather than a political meeting. This way, the women's meeting could ensure that no men or opponents would attend.
Dalnavert’s Pink Tea will include tea and light refreshments, a short lecture on the history of women’s suffrage in Manitoba, and an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at some of our rarely seen craft artifacts in celebration of craft as a women’s art form.
We encourage guests to wear pink!
