In Sisterhood: The Women's Movement in Pittsburgh - Wednesday June 8 @ 2 p.m.

Pittsburgh has a long history of producing entrepreneurs, philanthropists, artists, and musicians. What is less well known is that the region was also the birthplace of some influential leaders of the women’s movement and was home to several pioneering feminist organizations during the latter part of the 1900s. In Sisterhood is an oral history and multimedia project designed to promote a deeper understanding and appreciation of this inspiring aspect of the region’s history and to highlight how progress was achieved through the hard work and determination of a diverse group of local grassroots activists.

The project’s director and producer, Dr. Patricia Ulbrich, will lead a talk on the importance of our own homegrown contribution to the women’s movement, as well as why these recordings are essential to keeping that contribution alive in our memory and our history books.  FREE - Registration required.
