In celebration of Women’s History Month, the Downtown Women’s Center (DWC) proudly presents Groundbreaking Women, Then & Now: The Journey to Leadership. This series honors the trailblazers who have reshaped our community and ignited a path for future generations of women leaders. Every journey begins with a single courageous step, and the women featured in our series have not only shattered barriers for themselves but have paved the way for others to follow. Each story is a powerful testament to resilience, determination, and visionary leadership.
