The Unforgiving Yardstick: A Look at Women’s Roles and Struggles in Westchester County

Discover the stories of ten trailblazing Westchester women through portraiture, mixed media, and sculptural garments that reflect the restrictions they faced. This two-floor exhibition at the Square House Museum uncovers their struggles, triumphs, and lasting impact. Led by artist Fleur Spolidor, this exhibition presents 23 original works, including portraits of remarkable Westchester women and sculptural pieces crafted from measuring tapes. From corsets to cycling bloomers, these works challenge us to reconsider the ways in which women’s lives have been shaped—and constrained—through history. The exhibit is on view until March 27, 2026.
