Ms. Destiny

What would you do to control your own destiny?

Throughout history Colorado women have forged opportunity out of scarcity as they created lives they desired. The Center for Colorado Women's History newest exhibition Ms. Destiny highlights the stories of seven unique and resilient Colorado women who took fate into their hands, overcame barriers, and defined their realities.

Through the lenses of relationship, financial access and occupation, and presentation, Ms. Destiny explores the self-determination and tenacity of women in the Centennial State.

How to see Ms. Destiny: Visitors can experience Ms. Destiny with purchase of a General Admission ticket to the museum, available anytime during our public hours. General Admission permits visitors self-guided access to the first floor of the museum. 

Ms. Destiny is also viewable on the docent-led Women’s History Tour, though visitors should expect the focus of the tour to be women’s history more broadly.
