The Chicago Area Women's History Council (CAWHC) has a new project, Documenting Women's Activism and Leadership 1945-2000, which will identify, preserve and share archival resources for a full understanding of Chicago's women's activism and leadership between 1945 and 2000. The project is currently identifying significant personalities, issues, actions, organizations, institutions, legislative initiatives, cultural innovations and other elements that contributed to social, cultural, political and legal change for women during this period.
