Friends of The New York Women’s Foundation
gathered on Central Park West on September 24, 2019 to enjoy a
private viewing of “LIFE: Six Women Photographers” at the Joyce
B. Cowin Women’s History Gallery at the New-York Historical
Society, at party hosted by John F. Hoffman, President, Wealth
Management Northeast Region, Northern Trust; Henry Johnson,
President, Wealth Management East Region; and Jean Shafiroff,
author, philanthropist and Board alumna of The New York Women’s
Foundation. |
|
Over 150 guests from the words of business, philanthropy and
civic affairs, including Joyce Cowin and Assembly Member
Rebecca Seawright, enjoyed cocktails and hors d'oeuvres as
they perused the works of some of LIFE magazine’s
trailblazing women photographers who captured American
identity through their photojournalism. The exhibition
features nearly 70 extraordinary images created by Margaret
Bourke-White, Hansel Mieth, Marie Hansen, Martha Holmes,
Nina Leen, and Lisa Larsen. |
Addressing the crowd, Ms. Shafiroff spoke of New York’s women
community leaders who are blazing trails in the fight for social
justice, gender equality, economic opportunity and reproductive
rights and how The New York Women’s Foundation supports their
solutions. She urged the guests to show their support by
attending The Foundation’s upcoming 2019 Radical Generosity
Dinner. Ms. Shafiroff, Karen Choi and Lola C. West are co-chairs
of the event at the Essex House on October 7 honoring two
champions of social justice, DeAnna Hoskins, President & CEO of
JustLeadershipUSA and Bryan Stevenson, Founder and Executive
Director of the Equal Justice Initiative.

City through community-led solutions. |
