About Women In History |

Our Mission
Women in History is dedicated to the education of all people, regardless of age, race or socio-economic status through the dramatic recreation of the lives of notable women in the history of the United States of America.
Why Did Women In History Get Started?
A dedicated circle of friends headed by Sophia Mastrandreas-Dadas founded Women in History in Lakewood, Ohio in 1991. These women felt a debt to their female ancestors and a responsibility to future generations to tell women's stories. The knowledge they share is intended to foster an appreciation that all things are possible.
Character research is extensive. It includes published material and, when possible, visits to the locales where the individual lived and worked, plus interviews with family, friends and biographers. |
"Women have made up half the human race but you could never tell that by the books that historians write." ~ Arthur Schlessinger, Jr. Historian
