Women City Builders - Honoring Women's Civic Contributions to Portland

Research a Woman City Builder

We hope that as you read these stories, you will be inspired to learn more about women in Portland’s history. Think about a woman city builder whose story you want to tell. Is she your grandmother or great grandmother? Is she someone in your community who you think should be included in this website? If you are a teacher, perhaps your students would enjoy doing a research project on a woman city builder. If you are a member of an organization, perhaps your organization would want to send us the stories of your women founders or leaders. The possibilities are unlimited!

Women City Builders is a project for everyone—so please consider joining with us to discover and celebrate women’s civic contributions to Portland.
