Women in Leadership & Activism

10
This exhibit features Oberlin alumnae in leadership and activist roles and highlights their individual accomplishments in academia, art, social work, and other professions. This exhibit will continue to add Oberlin alumnae, so please return to check its progress.

The first four women featured - Johnnetta Betsch Cole ('57), Rowena Woodham Jelliffe ('14), Ruth A. Parmelee ('14), Sylvia Hill Williams ('57) - were selected and researched by the students in the Winter Term 2020 Group Project “History at the Museum,” taught by Renee Romano, Robert S. Danforth Professor of History and Professor of Africana Studies and Comparative American Studies, and Wendy Kozol, Professor of Comparative American Studies. These same students also curated exhibit cases related to the selected alumna. In the beginning of the Spring 2020 semester those exhibit cases were installed in the Academic Commons as part of the libraries' Oberlin's Women: A Legacy of Leadership & Activism exhibit.
