Celebrating and documenting the contribution of women to the history, social fabric and culture of Worcester and beyond (www.wwhp.org)

The Worcester Women's History Project was founded in 1994 by a small group of women to raise awareness of the importance of the first National Woman's Rights Convention and to highlight the role of Worcester — a center of radical abolitionist activity and the site of the first National Woman's Rights Convention in 1850 — in the women's rights movement. Their vision was to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the 1850 convention in 2000, which vision became realized in Women 2000. In the spirit of the abolitionists who organized the first National Woman's Rights Convention in Worcester in 1850, the WWHP seeks to build a strong foundation of community support by involving women and men from all races, classes and creeds in support of its mission.
