She Writes History at UVA

Club Description

She Writes History is an organization dedicated to women's history, scholarship, and community engagement. She Writes History was founded on the notion that women have been largely marginalized in our written history and spaces of public history, like the memorials we dedicate to individuals on UVA grounds. She Writes History was founded with the belief that narratives of women from the past must be elevated so that our understanding of the world and society is more complete. Women's narratives should also be put in conversation with other marginalized narratives to understand the complexity of our past and present. She Writes History is dedicated to elevating past female narratives, and creating platforms where women from the present can preserve their voice and achievements for future generations.
