All Our Grandmothers: Building San Diego:
The Untold Stories
 A century ago women were active participants in creating the San Diego we know today. Sometimes behind the scenes, but increasingly in the forefront of public and community activities, women, like men, created institutions and organizations. Women were also the primary guardians of family and traditions. Our permanent Exhibit "All Our Grandmothers" is just a glimpse of how women in San Diego's diverse communities mirrored their sisters nationally by making history - breaking boundaries and building communities. Please join us at 2 pm on Saturday, May 17th for the Opening Reception of Phase II of this important exhibit, a community partnership with the San Diego Historical Society and the San Diego Chinese Historical Museum. RSVP to the Women's History Museum at 619 233-7963 |
