SUMMARY:From Heel to Toe: Behind Walk this Way Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:From high-buttoned leather boots to retro stilettos\, the evolu
 tion of footwear has paralleled women’s social and political advancements
  throughout the last century. Although considered an integral part of our
  everyday lives\, shoes are uniquely able to tell stories centered around
  women’s labor activism\, the fight for suffrage\, and the sexual revoluti
 on. Moderated by Museum President and CEO Mary Pat Higgins\, Valerie Paley
 \, Walk this Way exhibition curator\, and Edward Maeder\, author of the ex
 hibition’s catalog and founding director of the Bata Shoe Museum in Toront
 o\, join us for a look behind the fabric.  \n This program is presented in
  conjunction with the Museum’s current special exhibition\, Walk this Way:
  Footwear from the Stuart Weitzman Collection of Historic Shoes .   \n Thi
 s event is free and tickets are available here: https://dhhrm.my.salesforc
 e-sites.com/ticket/#/events/a0S6e00000h4GwkEAE \n About Walk this Way: Foo
 twear from the Stuart Weitzman Collection of Historic Shoes:  \nFrom silk
  boudoir shoes created for the 1867 Paris Exposition to leather spectator
  pumps signed by the 1941 New York Yankees\, the Dallas Holocaust and Huma
 n Rights Museum’s special exhibition\, Walk this Way: Footwear from the St
 uart Weitzman Collection of Historic Shoes\, features more than 100 striki
 ng pairs of shoes. This exhibition presents footwear – spanning nearly 200
  years – from the collection of iconic shoe designer Stuart Weitzman\, and
  businesswoman and philanthropist Jane Gershon Weitzman. \n An integral pa
 rt of our everyday lives\, shoes not only protect our feet\, but tell stor
 ies centered around women’s labor activism\, the fight for suffrage\, and
  the sexual revolution. Production and consumption of footwear serve as pa
 thways toward discovering the vital role women played in history. Women ta
 ke center stage as this exhibition explores a variety of shoes\, including
  those worn by suffragists as they marched through the streets\, Jazz Age
  flappers as they danced the Charleston\, and starlets who graced the silv
 er screen in the postwar era. In exploring the process of shoemaking\, the
  role of women in one of the first mass production industries\, and their
  participation in the forming of organized labor\, the exhibition presents
  the story of the shoe as it has never been told before. \nThis exhibition
  has been organized by the New-York Historical Society and will be on view
  at the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum from February 9 through J
 uly 14\, 2024.   \n The Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum is gratef
