Utah Women’s History – Resource Kit
Exploring women’s legacy of leadership in the past will make Utah a better place for women in the future. By the rigorous study, preservation, and education of the significant contributions women have made in Utah’s complex and interesting past, our Utah partners in this space empower the women of today to continue that tradition of making history. Equipping women (and men) with factual historical data enables them to enact critical change. To get involved in positive change, take action by exploring what you can do as individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities.
