Project: WriteGirl in the Archives

Autry Education partnered with nine WriteGirl participants through a Discovery Fellows workshop series focusing on the Autry’s What’s Her Story: Women in the Archives exhibition. This zine is the outcome of those collaborations.   

WriteGirl is a creative writing and mentoring organization that promotes creativity, critical thinking and leadership skills to empower teen girls and gender-expansive youth. https://www.writegirl.org/  

What’s Her Story: Women in the Archives exhibition is part of the the Autry's Revealing Women in the Archives initiative.

Educational Programs at the Autry are sponsored by:

Eisenberg · The Georgina-Fredrick Children's Foundation · Christy McAvoy · Marleen and Bruce Rognlien · Robert E. Ronus · Brenda and Gary Ruttenberg · The Steinmetz Foundation · Virginia F.
