Power Up! : True Stories of Women Who Changed the World Cooper Library Display January 2018 Power Up: True Stories of Women Who Changed the World Display Photographs taken by Micki Reid Cooper Library Public Information Coordinator Display Description If you’ve ever used a computer (Grace Hopper), played a game of Monopoly (Elizabeth Magie), or enjoyed a hand-churned scoop of ice cream (Nancy Johnson), you know that women hold a crucial place in conversations on invention and ingenuity. Amidst a multitude of contemporary intersectional movements for women’s equality and recognition, the Cooper Library January Display aims to pay homage to the many contributions by women to U.S. and world history. Throughout January, grab a book or movie and dive deep into the rich history of the women who worked as catalysts and game-changers for some of the world’s greatest advancements.

  • New York State Senate's "Women of Distinction"Exhibit
    Welcome to the New York State Senate Women of Distinction Exhibit MARCH 2017 Dear Friends: Women have been prominent in shaping our American history. To celebrate these women, and in recognition of Women’s History Month, the New York State Senate developed the Historic Women of Distinction exhibit. Every March, we celebrate famous women in several disciplines whose contributions have earned them recognition as New York’s Historic Women of Distinction. The Women of Distinction exhibit features historic New York women, from suffragists to geneticists, labor organizers to entertainers, whose contributions are still felt today and who stand as an inspiration to the next generation of inventors, explorers and achievers. Some of the women in the display include Susan B. Anthony, Lucille Ball, “Grandma Moses” Robertson, Harriet TubmanBlank and Emma Willard, among others - all with strong links to New York State. Women’s History Month is a time to reflect on the enormous contributions of great women from our past. The Women of Distinction exhibit highlights just a few of these extraordinary women and demonstrates the indelible mark that they have made on our great state. Established in 1998, the Women of Distinction program was created to recognize the historic contribution of New York women who exemplify personal excellence, courage, selflessness, integrity and perseverance and serve as an example to all New Yorkers. The Senate’s Historical Women of Distinction is an annual celebration that coincides with national Women’s History Month, observed in March. We hope you will take the time to enjoy our exhibit and marvel at the accomplishments of our fellow New Yorkers.
