About Us

Mission

Our library is transitioning into an academy.

Gals Guide showcases hard-earned wisdom found in books, visual arts, and shared stories from women past and present. Our mission is to share women’s achievements and lessons learned to strengthen women’s voices and make the world a more equitable place. Turning history into action and reflection, Gals Guide provides hybrid classes, courses, and workshops about women’s history to build a compassionate future.

Gals Guide is online and seeking a new physical location in Moorhead, Minnesota. Our lending library will transition to a resource library.
