- **Event Name**: The Women of the Kindergarten for the Blind
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 28 Mar, 2026 at 12:45 am
- **Event Description**: For Women’s History Month Jen Hale, Lead Archivist of the Perkins School for the Blind will talk about the remarkable women associated with the Kindergarten for the Blind in Jamaica Plain during the late nineteenth century.  The Kindergarten was the first of its kind in the United States and had considerable support from prominent women in the Boston area, including Isabella Stewart Gardner, Louisa May Alcott, and an eleven year old Helen Keller. After opening its doors to students in 1887, the Kindergarten was staffed by several exceptional women and some of the lasting impacts of their innovations may be surprising to audiences.  The Kindergarten for the Blind was located where the MSPCA/Angell campus is today.

This event is free and open to the public.  Light refreshments will be served.  The program will use a hybrid format.  Please attend in person if you would like, or you can sign up to attend via Zoom using this link: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_3g_paYtfTNqtkM_l_SNq5Q
