Her work, our story
Our new exhibit, challenges the idea of “What is women’s work?” Breaking free from traditional stereotypes, this showcase celebrates the diverse achievements of trailblazing women who defied societal expectations. “Her Work, Our Story” not only celebrates the achievements of individual women but also challenges visitors to reconsider their preconceived notions of gender roles and limitations. By showcasing the diverse talents and accomplishments of Kitsap County’s women, the exhibit boldly declares that there truly is no limit to what women can achieve.
