Louise Berliawsky escaped the pogroms of Kiev in 1905 and emigrated to a small town in upstate New York. Although her family struggled with poverty and anti-Semitism, from the time she was a young child, Louise knew she wanted to be a sculptor. Possessed with strength, perseverance and a unique gift of finding new ways to express her artistic vision, Nevelson emerged as one of the most important artists of the twentieth century.

About the Women In History Programming

Women In History is a non-profit corporation dedicated to the education of all people through the dramatic re-creation of lives of notable women in history. With a passion for history and the women who are responsible for at least half of it, Women in History gives voice to some of the most stirring and inspiring stories that have gone untold for far too long. Through careful research and thorough study, the group has recreated riveting and entertaining life stories of some of history’s most remarkable ladies.

Each account is presented in a costume that reflects the time period, in first-person, and in an engaging way that allows those in attendance to interact with her and find out who she really was and what daily life was like during her lifetime.

We are proud to partner with Youngstown State University to bring innovative programming to our community through the Success Over 60 initiative. Funded by YSU’s Success Over 60 program, this collaborative effort supports educational, creative, and wellness opportunities designed specifically for older adults. The program is rooted in the belief that learning and growth should continue at every stage of life, and it helps remove barriers by providing access to university resources, student involvement, and intergenerational engagement. This partnership plays a key role in bringing enriching experiences—like our current series — to life, and we’re grateful for the support that makes it all possible.Youngstown State University Bitonte College of Health & Human Services logo, featuring the university’s red and black “Y” emblem alongside the college name.
