Third annual event celebrating the “PR Women Who Changed History: the stories you never heard before”
For most of modern PR history, up through the 1980s, professional PR women were few and far between. Their stories are rarely mentioned in textbooks, or discussed in the classroom. Yet these are the women who paved the way for the rest of us. Their impact went beyond the profession, influencing business, politics, culture and society. On March 7, their stories were told.
