About Us

At the Center, you will see how the roles of women have changed through the centuries with our book display shelves that hold over 700 books. There are stories depicting women in Military, Science, Arts, Industry, Medicine, Technology, Legal, Fashion, Photography, Sports and many other fields. The stories are fascinating, not just for what these women accomplished, but for how they overcame obstacles and went on to follow their dreams.

Additionally, the Center has a collection of biographies on Nevada women pioneers that was researched by the Nevada Women’s History Project, plus many posters and reference materials issued by the National Women’s History Project.

Another section focuses on girls and role models, and the childhoods of extraordinary women and their accomplishments. This offers children the tools they need to explore their potential and realize that anything is possible and, with a will to succeed, dreams can be turned into reality.

(While our books are not available to ‘check out’ of the Center, you can certainly get acquainted with one or more, and put them on your wish list to own, or just set aside time to come by and read them at the Center.)

Our calendar has featured many events, classes, seminars and presentations. Some are: Unveiling the beautiful mural in our shared parking area, the People’s Walk, Girls in Aviation Day at McCarran Airport, MAX Meditation Class, Energy Wellness Class, Pet Bereavement and Grief Counseling Class, Fitness for Fun series, Settlers talks, Library displays, Proclamations for momentous days remembering women’s accomplishments. We’ve hosted tea parties, games, Scouting projects, and more.

Classes are led by many capable instructors, volunteers and community partners. More classes, and a book club, remain on the horizon!
