Leading The Way

Six Outstanding Women Of Queens


This exhibition serves as an introduction to six extraordinary women who lived in Queens at critical/ formative/significant times in their lives. They have not been selected because they are either the six most exceptional women or the six most famous women of Queens; but rather because their lives are examples of what living a meaningful life is — a life of personal achievement and a life that helps others.

The Six Women Included:
Betty Friedan
Yeou-Cheng Ma
Helen Keller
Rise Stevens
