Flashback Friday: An Early Galentine’s Day, Circa 1952?

Galentine’s Day, celebrated the day before Valentine’s Day, may be a 21st century coinage, but the concept—women supporting and uplifting one another—is not. As this November 7, 1952, photo of young women in a BU dorm shows, women have long helped and encouraged one another.
