View the Exhibit Online Here Office of General Services Commissioner Jeanette Moy announced the opening of the exhibit Shaping Narratives, a new Women’s History Month exhibition that pays tribute to the New York women communicators who have been a pivotal force in shaping our culture through their actions and voices. The exhibit is located in the Governor’s Reception Room on the Capitol’s second floor and will run through the end of March. “New York women have always been on the frontline of change in this country. This year’s Women’s History Month Capitol exhibit celebrates the important contributions and achievements of women who dared to challenge the status quo and say ‘I belong,’” Commissioner Moy said. “I encourage everyone to visit the State Capitol this March to learn about and honor the legacy of the New York women who used their voices to shape this nation and state.” Shaping Narratives celebrates the history of New York’s great women communicators whose legacies continue to inspire change. New York State has long been at the forefront of the fight to advance women’s equality and ensure fairness for all. In 1848 when the first women’s rights convention took place in Seneca Falls, New York State became known as the birthplace of the women’s rights movement. The exhibit focuses on a diverse group of women who represent progressive thinkers, journalists, authors, and activists who broke through social norms by using their voices and pens to tell the stories that continue to inspire generations of women and men. Among the New York women featured in the exhibit are:
The Women’s History Month exhibit is free and open to the public from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays. Find more information about the exhibit and visiting the New York State Capitol here.
