We are a 501(c)(3) that provides multimedia resources and education about amazing women of history.
Mission
Gal’s Guide mission is to provide an independent women’s history library to preserve, collect, share and champion women’s achievements and lessons learned. We will act as a catalyst to creators who utilize our resources to guide others to these amazing role models who have been waiting in the shadows of history for too long.
Projects & Services
We have opened the first independent women’s history lending-library in America. We accept donations of books and materials that document women’s history around the world.
The Gal’s Guide podcast features a round-table discussion where each guest brings one cool thing to the table that relates to women in our monthly topic.
We offer four exciting school outreach programs tailored for Elementary through University and in 30 minutes to 1-hour presentations.
Gal’s Guide organizes and hosts a 12-week workshop every fall.
