Educational Resources
The Office of Women's Advancement and Advocacy (OWAA) is proud to present this curated collection of lesson plans, articles and associated resources for Women's History Month and beyond. By presenting both Delaware and National resources, our hope is to make it easy for Delaware girls as well as educators to learn about and celebrate the many accomplishments of women.
Delaware Women's Hall of Fame Portrait Exhibit
To mark the 40th year of the Delaware Women's Hall of Fame, in 2021 OWAA commissioned portraits representing every woman inducted into the Delaware Women's Hall of Fame. The portraits were created with the goal of increasing the visibility of women in public spaces and ensuring that the legacy of Delaware women is acknowledged and celebrated. The opportunities to use these materials as an educational resource are endless. Including:
- Visit the Delaware Women's Hall of Fame Portrait Exhibit. The exhibit is currently on display in the lobby of ChristianaCare’s Center for Heart & Vascular Health ( 4755 Ogletown-Stanton Road, Newark, DE, 19718 ). The exhibit is free and open to the public during regular business hours (8:30am – 4:30pm).
