Women and Leadership Archives
Women's Legacy
Ignited by Loyola's Jesuit mission, and the legacy of the BVMs, the Women and Leadership Archives believes past is prologue and leads to a hope-filled future. The WLA expands knowledge in the service of humanity by collecting, preserving, and making available the past and present stories of the women and women's organizations in Chicago, the Midwest, and beyond.
