We are now entering our third year of work on the Evanston Women’s History Project and are set to go public with the results of all our research. Spring 2010 will find us updating this web site to include a lot more information about the project and the women and women’s organizations we’ve learned so much about. We will also be unveiling a new women’s history exhibit at the Evanston History Center and new public progams including a bus tour, walking tours and lectures. Stay tuned and check back here to learn more!
