We continue this series by learning about women who, because of their actions, broke through barriers, cleared new paths, made major contributions to their fields, improved the lives of other women and men and made the world a better place.

Jumping into our time machines and fastening our seatbelts, we will take a journey back to 19th-century America and spend some quality time with Poe, Hawthorne, Emerson, Thoreau, Melville, Dickinson and Whitman. Our travels will proceed through selected short stories, essays, and poetry, all available online or through your own public library. As we hurtle through intellectual space, we will learn about the qualities which characterize American Romantic writing, including democracy, individualism, the experiences of everyday people, imagination, emotion, nature, mystery and the supernatural. Likewise, we will examine the historical contexts in which these works were written. When we return to the present from our explorations, we will have gained a greater understanding of the ways in which these writers helped to create a purely American literary tradition and voice.

Offered via Zoom, a Pilates approach will be used in this core strengthening program. Stretching and use of free weights will strengthen the overall body as well as improve flexibility and balance. The class will use both mats and chairs.
