    A Powerful Piece of BPW/PA History

    The BPW/PA Equal Pay Day Quilt began in 2004 as a statewide project bringing together 100 quilt blocks from across Pennsylvania. Measuring 12 feet by 12 feet, the quilt was intentionally left without a finished binding as part of the project's message about equal pay.

    First displayed in the Pennsylvania State Capitol Rotunda on April 19, 2005, the quilt remains a memorable part of BPW/PA's history.
