Jumping Through Hoops: Performing Gender In The Nineteenth-Century Circus

The Mark Twain House & Museum presents Jumping Through Hoops, a sharp, engaging look at the untold stories of women and gender-nonconforming performers in the nineteenth-century American circus. Historian Betsy Golden Kellem explores how spectacle challenged convention—and reshaped public ideas of gender, identity, and performance.
