About this event

Speaker: Ann Durkin Keating 

When Juliette Kinzie first visited in 1831, Chicago was a remote outpost of 200 residents near Fort Dearborn. As one of the city's forgotten founding mothers, Kinzie helped shape its rise from an Indian frontier into an industrial center, proving that Chicago was built not just by men, but by women working within their own parlors.
