Our multimedia exhibit highlights
the work of local feminists to gain equal rights
for women and girls in our region and beyond.
It includes a portrait gallery of sixteen influential
leaders of the women's movement during the latter
part of the 20th century, a 15-minute video based
on excerpts from their oral histories, period
photos and memorabilia from private collections.
Featured activists include Ann Begler, Jeanne
Clark, Alma Speed Fox, Barbara Hafer, Eleanor
Smeal, and a dozen other leading feminists in
southwest Pennsylvania.
At the Preview Party in 2008, Eleanor
Smeal shared her reflections in an address entitled
"How Pittsburgh Feminists Rocked the Nation."
