The exhibit makes extensive use of photos, artifacts, mementos and ephemera to highlight the many unique and varied experiences Kentucky’s military women have had. The collection presents a thematic study of how women veterans from Kentucky’s many different geographic, economic, and cultural backgrounds navigated social and military challenges to serve. Kemper says the individual experiences of Kentucky’s women vets are part of a larger story: one that has evolved from being told to stay on the sidelines, to being crucial on the frontlines.
