Join us for these upcoming IWBC events!
For women’s and girls’ baseball events worldwide, visit the Women in Baseball Week calendar.
This exhibition showcases the contributions that women have made to baseball, both on and off the playing field from the late 1850s through today, using reproduced images as well as rare archival and three-dimensional artifacts to tell the story. Chasing A Dream runs from mid-July through December, 2024 at Rockford University’s Howard Colman Library. Visit Colman Library for current hours.
If you visited the exhibit, please complete this brief survey and log your attendance. Reach out any time with questions about the exhibit or women in baseball to [email protected].
