Each of the women featured in this exhibit has faced at least one of the many atrocities Armenians faced during the time period of the Genocide.

Not only did these women experience the effect of the many mass shootings and massacres of the time, but they had also faced ADDITIONAL hardships that came with being a woman during the time as well.
