"Suffer for Beauty" Power Point Presentation Available

Working with the Washington Women's History Consortium we have developed a power point program paralleling this exhibit. It has been created for use by other historical organizations, and key slides can be altered so each user (if they wish) can insert images of local historic women. It is a fun and entertaining way to learn about women's history. Click here to download a copy or contact Janet Wells, jwells@auburnwa.gov or 253 804-5010 and we can mail you one for $5.
