Prairie Women's History Project is a non-profit organization based in Lawrence, Kansas that aims to preserve and promote the history of women in the Great Plains region. The project was founded in 1994 by a group of women historians and scholars who recognized the need for a more comprehensive and inclusive understanding of the region's history.

The organization's primary focus is on collecting, archiving, and sharing the stories of women who have lived and worked in the Great Plains. This includes stories of Native American women, pioneers, homesteaders, farmers, educators, activists, and more. Through oral history interviews, research, and educational programs, the project seeks to shed light on the often-overlooked contributions and experiences of women in the region.

One of the organization's flagship initiatives is the Prairie Women's Studies program, which offers courses and resources for students and educators interested in learning about the history of women in the Great Plains. The project also hosts an annual conference on Prairie Women's History and publishes a quarterly newsletter.

Overall, Prairie Women's History Project is a vital resource for anyone interested in learning about the rich and diverse history of women in the Great Plains. By preserving and sharing these stories, the organization is helping to ensure that women's contributions to the region's history are not forgotten.
