Tomorrow: Celebrate our 130th anniversary with Heinz History Center and Nellie Bly!

Hope to see you tomorrow for the 130th anniversary celebration of the Women's Press Club of Pittsburgh with Heinz History Center! The virtual event will be held at 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 4 via Zoom.

If you're planning to join us, use #WPC130 on social media!

We're flattered to have had several news outlets highlight our event ahead of the celebration:
Dr. Candi Carter Olson of Utah State University will talk about Nellie Bly and how her legacy fits in with other trailblazing Pittsburgh women in journalism. A friend of the press club, Dr. Carter Olson wrote her 2013 dissertation earning her Ph.D. from the University of Pittsburgh about the history of Women's Press Club of Pittsburgh.

We will also be presenting an honorary membership to Nellie Bly, portrayed by actress Brittany Tague. And, we will read a proclamation recognizing Feb. 4, 2021, as “Women’s Press Club of Pittsburgh Day” in Allegheny County.

More information on the registration page or the Facebook event page.
 

Registration is free, but requested in advance, on Heinz History Center's website. See you there!
