Expect Great Things! How the Katharine Gibbs School Revolutionized the American Workplace for Women

From the 1910s to the 1960s, the Katharine Gibbs School was widely known for training women for secretarial positions. However, in Expect Great Things! How the Katharine Gibbs School Revolutionized the American Workplace for Women, author Vanda Krefft reveals how this school intentionally instilled women with the skills, knowledge, and self-confidence to seek opportunities outside of the prescribed secretarial role. Krefft tells the story of Katie Gibbs, the school’s founder, and introduces us to a rolodex of graduates who went on to defy the sexism of their era. Moderated by Harper Kincaid, this event was part of the 2025 Fall for the Book’s festival lineup and was presented in partnership with George Mason University's Osher Lifelong Learning Institute: https://olli.gmu.edu/ Purchase Expect Great Things: https://bookshop.org/a/21133/97816437... ---- Music - "Walking Jazz" by Vibe Depot
