Organized by Allison Wilbur
Women have long been on the front lines fighting for equality and human rights – risking their lives and their livelihoods to make their communities more just. And today, they continue advocating for what Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton calls “the unfinished business of the 21st century” – women’s equality. This exhibit from the Clinton Center commemorates these brave activists and inspires a new generation to use their voices—and their votes—to advance human rights.
