Women In Government

In honor of the historic first female majority in the City Council in 2022 the Archives put together this booklet containing a timeline, facts, archival photos, and student reflections about why it is important to study female leaders. This booklet accompanies the larger project on women in politics that the Gardiner-Shenker Student Scholars are working on. They are interviewing many of these Council Members and documenting what their work means for New York City's future.
