Do You Like Arlington’s Vibrant, Walk-Friendly Culture?

Post Published: June 20, 2019

Ellen Bozman sitting in the County Board Room

The year is 1973.

Ellen is elected to the County Board.

She leads the transformation of a Metro corridor surrounded by parks, apartments, shopping and restaurants, where the community can flourish.

Lead this town: That's Women's Work.

Lead this town: That's Women's Work.

Two years in the making, Arlington Public Library's Women's Work exhibit presents the stories of women trailblazers and their far-reaching impact on politics, education, business, social activism and public libraries.

The curated digital collection contains stories, photographs, letters and memorabilia and spotlights both individuals and groups of Arlington women who dedicated their work to improve the lives of others.

Because there are always more layers of history to find and examine, the Center for Local History continually seeks community donations and oral histories. Contact us at 703-228-5966 or by email.
