During its powerhouse days, Buffalo was seen as a place where anyone could rise to the top. It was a city brimming with opportunity, growing fast, and filled with entrepreneurs who were designing, building, creating, and shaping this city for future generations to behold.
As we have seen, careers derived from the economic boom and the prosperity that followed was not just reserved for men. For the first time in history, women were able to forge their own career paths, which meant that Buffalo was home to some of the most courageous, resilient, talented and enterprising women in the world.
