Women's Legacy

The Women and Leadership Archives (WLA) collects, preserves, and makes available permanently valuable records of women and women's organizations, which document women's lives, roles, and contributions. The WLA is part of the Gannon Center for Women and Leadership and Loyola University Chicago Libraries. We are proud to serve the greater Loyola community, external scholars, and the general public.
