The LSU Rural Life Museum is proud to present its 2025 theme, "Women's Work: History Through Her Story."
This year-long exploration celebrates the diverse and impactful contributions of women to Louisiana’s history and culture, spanning traditional roles in the home, political movements, wartime efforts, activism, cultural heritage, and the workforce.
Programming will include the annual Ione E. Burden Symposium, performances, author talks, exhibitions, and hands-on demonstrations.
Through these events, we will shine a light on the resilience, artistry, and leadership of Louisiana women, offering a deeper understanding of how their work has shaped society, influenced change, and left a lasting legacy.
