Evanston women's history project

The Evanston Community Foundation is coordinating the Evanston Women's History Project (EWHP), a three-year collaborative effort of Evanston organizations begun in 2007. The Project will document and celebrate significant women's history in Evanston, as well as the continuing contributions of women to the community. The Project is funded through the leadership of several Foundation donors and the Foundation's Fund for Women and Girls.

"This project is a great example of the Foundation's ability to connect local resources of knowledge, funding, and individual and organizational interest so that we might celebrate this community of strong women,"
