A young and fearless group of women looked around and realized that the story of how the women had penetrated and demanded a new place in the life of the Episcopal Church needed to be documented. This was in 1980 in USA. There were stories that needed telling, and women wanted to tell these stories. They needed money to support their research and travel, time to write and find publishers, and the imagination to explore stories that had yet to be uncovered. The EWHP founders were capable and had the drive and interest to capture the stories of the women who had laid the foundation of The Episcopal Church. So, they started a new organization, the Episcopal Women’s History Project. https://www.ewhp.org/
