Michele Pagán
Michele Pagán is a recently-returned native Vermonter, who spent her childhood in Bennington. She is a graduate of the University of VT and the University of Connecticut, where she studied clothing & textiles.
This presentation is based on the research Michele Pagan has done into the Revolutionary War ancestors of the girls who made 19th century schoolgirl samplers. Needlework samplers are a visual record of the values that guided early female education in Vermont, including its focus on needlework as an essential skill for all girls and women. As artifacts of female education, they provide insight into family dynamics, local history, and community values.
