Evanston Women's History Project
EVANSTON, IL. The Evanston Women’s History Project (EWHP) is a three-year collaborative community effort begun in 2007 to document and celebrate women and women's organizations that have made significant contributions to Evanston history.
Over the next year, the project will launch an online research database of Evanston women
and women's organizations; a new women's history exhibit at the
Evanston History Center; women's history curriculum for schools; girls
leadership program materials; and tourism materials and public programs
marking our new women's history trail.
For more information and a full schedule of all the public programs coming up this spring check the project's web site at www.evanstonwomen.org. And be sure to visit the Evanston History Center, 225 Greenwood Street, to see "Lifting as We Climb: Evanston Women and the Creation of a Community" -- the project's new exhibit opening March 19, 2010. Spend some time with women's history and get inspired!
