Women Helping Women: A Centennial History of the Boise YWCA/WCA"

Through a detailed narrative and
more than 180 photos, the WCA's newly released 144-page history book
tells stories of empowerment, advocacy, independence, and female
strength. Examining the role of the YWCA/WCA as the single most
influential organization in Boise history to address the needs of Boise
women, this time-intensive project was a labor of love for a committee
of women whose research uncovered old artifacts, articles, letters,
photos, and much more. As details of women's stories over the past 100
years began to emerge, historic events were organized chronologically,
people in photographs were identified, and the story of the (Y)WCA was
told.
