Synopsis

Traditional history, with its focus on politics, diplomacy, war, and great economic change, has been the province of a few "great men." In earlier times, the women did not usually work in these areas. Consequently, they were not often included in history books. The Missing Chapters project is an effort to incorporate the stories of West Virginia women, who have made significant, but as of yet, unheralded contributions to the state into the mainstream of West Virginia history.
