Women Who Dared

Held biennially in March

In celebration of Women's History Month, the Jewish Women's Foundation, Women's Division of the Jewish United Fund, and the Jewish Women's Archive honors: Women Who Dared.

Women Who Dared celebrates the brave actions and bold life choices of the everyday Jewish female heroes in our midst. Contemporary women who have dared to stand up for the rights of others-sometimes at their own peril- are chosen each year. Their personal stories and inspirational accounts of social and political activism are collected and presented in an expanding Jewish Women's Archive web exhibit.
