Celebrating the Ladies
The first lady of the United States, a U.S. senator, Dallas civic leaders and memorable moms were among 74 women honored in March through a project of the Archives of Women of the Southwest at SMU.
Their names will be inscribed on plaques in DeGolyer Library, which houses the archives. Through the archives’ “Remember the Ladies!” campaign, donors have made contributions of $5,000 or more each to honor notable women of their choosing. The gifts will help fund an endowment to hire an archivist for the collection, which includes the letters, documents and diaries of more than 150 women, as well as the records of women’s organizations
