Featured women include the first woman to register to vote in Rhode Island, Mary Jolls Merchant DeWolf, lighthouse keeper Ida Lewis, ice-cream shop owner Annie Dodge Gray, LGBTQ rights activist Julia Pell, Queen Sachem of the Pocasset’s Weetamoo, and baseball player Lizzie Murphy.
Spanning more than three centuries of Rhode Island’s history, the exhibit contains banners with photographs and biographies of the women, artifacts from their lives, and includes a searchable online database containing short biographies of the women. Heidi has also created an online exhibit featuring photographs and in-depth biographies of each woman.
