    Guerilla art! Communists! A bowling poet!...? Explore some of the unique stories told through the WLA collections.


    Visit the Women and Leadership Archives at Loyola University Chicago any time during our Open House. Uncover clues from various WLA collections that tell the stories of Mollie West (Chicago labor leader, women's right activist, and one-time Communist Party member), SisterSerpents (Chicago feminist art collective that made political statements through art), and Eleanor Risteen Gordon (professor, poet, and bowling enthusiast).
