the index

The 2025 inaugural Class

Season 01 opens the Index with a focused set of women, objects, and practices that stand in daily life and in the historical record. Each admission is brief and usable: what it is, why it matters, how it is kept. We state their place in women’s culture with clarity: authorship, work, care, ceremony, and memory across public and private rooms. Every entry is edited to essentials: description, lineage, visibility, and care, supported by precise identifiers and citations. Cross references connect the records so the Index works as a living reference for collectors, curators, institutions, and informed readers. Modern, timeless, elevated. Read it as the ultimate authority, concise enough to act on and rigorous enough to trust.
