Exhibit: Women of Valor

JWA's Women of Valor program highlights a series of trailblazing Jewish women, bringing the story of American Jewish women's history to life. Each of these remarkable women had the courage and conviction to overcome social, cultural and religious barriers to achieve her goals, and each left a meaningful contribution that transformed the communities of which she was a part. Drawing upon a rich array of photographs, documents, and historical artifacts, the Women of Valor multimedia web exhibits tell the stories of these women's lives.
