As we look back on one hundred plus years of Women’s League history, we will examine its important organizational milestones, its challenges and successes, innovations, resources and publications, cultural creativity, social activism, political advocacy and tumultuous religious change.

In the early decades of the twentieth century, many of our leaders were like rabbis.  By the end of the century, they were rabbis. Women’s Leaguers were not mere sideline spectators, but an armed battalion of active, engaged and deeply committed participants.
