Wisconsin Women Making History is a growing digital resource that provides students and lifelong learners with an online destination to find remarkable women who have contributed to Wisconsin’s state legacy.

The project is coordinated by the University of Wisconsin Office of the Gender & Women’s Studies Librarian (GWSL). In partnership with PBS Wisconsin, the University of Wisconsin Women’s and Gender Studies Consortium, and the Wisconsin Historical Society, the Office of the GWSL considers nominations, conducts research, and writes, edits, fact-checks, and posts new profiles each month.

Nominations may be considered for future site updates. If you would like to nominate a Wisconsin woman who has made significant contributions to the state’s legacy, please email us.

Check back often or follow Wisconsin Women Making History on Facebook for new additions to the website.
