The Working Women’s History Project aims to tell the stories of Chicago women who have struggled to achieve rights and benefits for women in the workplace and in other social arenas.
- We research the lives of activist women of the past and present who have made or are making significant contributions to social justice movements.
- We produce performance pieces telling their stories and present them at a variety of venues, including our galas, in schools, unions, at arts festivals, and on CAN television.
- We host events in which we invite women to tell their own stories and describe their work.
- We publish their stories in pamphlets for schools, in our newsletters and on our website.
