Women’s stories are often more difficult to find in the historical record, or their identities are hidden behind their husband’s names. This program brings to light the contributions of some of the diverse and influential women in Princeton’s history, including immigrants, enslaved women, working women, and community leaders. Through their service to others, these trailblazers played key roles in the town’s development.
