Women Helping Women Photo Exhibit - Mary Claire Carroll, Photographer
This exhibit began in the summer of 1998 as a way to honor the work women do and to educate the community about the issues Vermont women face every day of their lives. Mary Claire Carroll focused on women whose work improved the lives of Vermont women and their families. Each participant was asked three questions: describe the work you do, what motivates you to do this work, and what dreams or hopes do you have for the future of Vermont women and their families. A booklet with "thumbnail photos and descriptive text was created by Kate Rouelle in the state curator's office. Click here to see booklet for Women Helping Women
