Welcome

The Global Women's History Project was created by Dr. Elise G. Young, Middle East historian, as a unique educational model within the History Department, combining research, activism, and international education and cooperation.


The Goals of the Global Women's History Project are the following:

• To educate the general public about the histories and current struggles of women in war torn regions of the world.
  
• To archive women's history and to make primary source materials presented at conferences available to researchers, activists, and others.
  
• To offer an environment conducive to communication and constructuve interaction between and among women across national, religious, ethnic-racial, and class divisions.
  
• To provide an opportunity for the public to engage with women from around the world as they learn about one another's histories, visions, achievements, and concerns.
  
• To develop and coordinate projects in the areas of community based preventive health care, education, and politics.
  
• To network with grassroots organizations, schools, and universities, in order to share research and create avenues for support and interaction.
