The Future of Women's History

During the month of March, Eleanor's Legacy joined countless other organizations around the country in recognizing some of our most important female leaders. Women's History Month would not be complete without an homage to the great women who have gone before, paving the way for current and future successes. Now in April, we move forward by introducing you to twenty remarkable young women who will change the world as we know it in the years to come.

This is the future of women's history.
