What does WWOHP do? 

The Worcester Women’s Oral History Project records, collects, and shares the personal and historical memories of women throughout the Greater Worcester community. The Project focuses on the four areas that characterized the spirit of the first National Woman’s Rights Convention held in Worcester in 1850: work, education, health, and politics. These four themes resonate strongly with today’s Central Massachusetts women, as they continue to make history in their everyday lives.
