“The only way for a woman, as for a man, to find herself as a person, is by creative work on her own.”
—Betty Friedan

The Reconstructionists is a yearlong celebration of remarkable women—beloved artists, writers, and scientists, as well as notable unsung heroes—who have changed the way we define ourselves as a culture and live our lives as individuals of any gender.
