Abstract

This article explores the development, impact, and educational significance of the traveling exhibit The Voices of Missouri Women in the Federal Reserve. Inspired by the pioneering journey of Patricia Griffith, a former Federal Reserve Bank employee, the exhibit highlights the contributions of twenty diverse women from Missouri’s two Federal Reserve Banks. Through qualitative storytelling and the power of historical narratives, this exhibit educates viewers on the role of women in financial services and encourages young women to envision futures in historically male-dominated sectors. By employing feminist theory and social justice perspectives, the article underscores the exhibit’s role as a dynamic educational tool in humanities education, promoting inclusivity and resilience. Key themes are revealed, offering new insights into the financial service sector’s evolution, and underscoring the importance of elevating marginalized voices. The exhibit and this article champion the humanities as essential in fostering supportive, empathetic, socially conscious global citizens and champions.
