Ruth Anna Fisher graduated from Oberlin College in 1906 with a degree in English and Latin at the age of 19. She had a career as a historian working for the Carnegie Institution and, eventually, the National Archives. This student curated exhibit explores Ruth Anna as not only a historian but as a woman of color conquering intellectual spaces that were not her own.
