Several of these fascinating Massachusetts women already have items in A Woman of the Century: A Crowdsourcing Project of the Nineteenth and Twenty-First Centuries, and the team will continue to add women as the project progresses.
As the number of items expands, the connections between the Massachusetts born women and their peers from other areas will become more evident.
These impressive women achieved quite a lot during their lifetimes. We have Massachusetts native Mary Ashton Rice Livermore, her friend Frances Elizabeth Willard, and the rest of the nineteenth-century contributors to thank for sharing the stories of these women with us.
