Inspiring stories of women in the PAMA collections

Stories of inspiring women are found in all three of the Peel Art Gallery, Museum and Archives' collections.

The Inspiring Stories of Women in the PAMA Collections virtual exhibition at the Peel Art Gallery Museum and Archives (PAMA) shines a spotlight on the remarkable achievements, resilience, and contributions of women who have shaped the history and culture of the Region of Peel. Through a carefully curated selection of artifacts, photographs, and archival materials, this exhibition brings to life the stories of women from diverse backgrounds—activists, artists, leaders, and everyday trailblazers—whose impact continues to be felt today.

By preserving and sharing these powerful narratives, PAMA not only honors these women’s legacies but also inspires future generations. This exhibition is part of PAMA's broader commitment to showcasing diverse voices and underrepresented histories through its virtual exhibitions, ensuring that the rich and multifaceted heritage of Peel Region is accessible to all. Whether celebrating pioneering figures in politics and social justice or recognizing the artistic and cultural contributions of women in the community, Inspiring Stories serves as a testament to the strength and influence of women throughout history.
