This exhibit is part of the Department of Distinctive Collections Women@MIT Initiative. Special thanks to Amanda Hawk for her Omeka and reading room wizardry, Simson Garfinkle for his historic knowledge, Jake Berstein for his sculptural expertise, and to all the collections, curation, and preservation staff at MIT who put in so much work making the Institute’s history available to everyone.

This exhibit was curated by Simon Wolfe and Thera Webb in March 2026.
