Untold Stories

The Women & Planning Division of the American Planning Association is proud to bring you these Untold Stories that elevate and celebrate women and their contributions to the planning profession. Untold Stories establishes a digital archive to memorialize, catalogue, and share women's stories about their contributions to the planning profession through leadership, mentorship, teaching, and creativity. This project was supported by a Product Development Grant from APA Divisions Council.
