“A Gathering of Women: Arkansas Women 1930-2000” is a multimedia history project on Arkansas women in the twentieth century. “A Gathering of Women” focuses on the everyday women of Arkansas. In the past, spotlights have recognized the “exceptional” women that have made tremendous strides in many walks of life. While we recognize and applaud their achievements, this web site is devoted to bringing all women of Arkansas into that spotlight. What follows is a collection of resources designed to promote and strengthen the study of women’s history in Arkansas.

We officially launched the web site on March 13, 2001 at the Historic Arkansas Museum (formerly the Arkansas Territorial Restoration). Many of the brightest, best, and most accomplished women celebrated with us. The party was dedicated to all Arkansas women and Judge Ellen Brantley was the guest of honor.
