Multimedia Exhibit

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."
