List of Kentucky women in the civil rights era

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

This is a historical list of women from Kentucky who were involved in civil rights activism from 1920 until the 1970s. This was a time period in the twentieth century when the civil rights movement impacted Kentucky's history of women and was enriched by Kentucky women. The civil rights era was one of the most significant sources of social change in the United States during the twentieth century.[1]

The University of Kentucky administers an Open Knowledge Initiative[2] on this particular time period in the history of Kentucky women that is hosted by the MATRIX at Michigan State University.[3]

This list does not include any of the U.S.

Civil Rights Movement.[4]
For this reason, this list of biographical entries of Kentucky women is limited to those women whose civil rights activism is somewhere in the time period that starts with the 1920s and ends with the 1970s.
