Next date: 
November 24
Start date: Friday, September 25, 2009
Event is ongoing: Until Sunday, December 13, 2009
A traveling exhibition about a group of independent American women who helped shape the nation's social and cultural landscape. This exhibit highlights the untold story of these sisters, whose accomplishments include:
• Founding more than 110 U.S. colleges and universities
• Developing the first infant incubator
• Staffing the first U.S. Navy hospital ship
As nurses, teachers, and social workers, sisters entered professional ranks decades earlier than most other women and established institutions that continue to serve millions of Americans from all walks of life. In this exhibit, rare artifacts and photographs from more than 400 communities have been brought together for the first time.
