Ginling College was a Christian, women’s college in Nanjing, China founded by a group of American women missionaries after the 1911 revolution. It was the first college granting bachelor's degrees to female students in China and became a sister school to Smith College of Northampton, Massachusetts. Through researching oral and written histories of the Chinese, American and Chinese American women who created and sustained the school, Professor Jin Feng (associate professor, Grinnell College) sheds light on how issues of modernity, nationalism and gender affected the ways this unique group of women experienced and influenced history.

Admission: $7; $4 student and senior; Free for MOCA member. RSVP at education@mocanyc.org.
