Illuminating Women is a collaboration between Juliane Troicki and Laura Schneider telling the stories of 30 incredible women from the Appleton area. Capturing women’s multidimensionality in life and work, the women are from a multitude of backgrounds, ages, and professions. Each woman is featured in one black and white photo (Laura) and one biographical narrative (Juliane). Juliane and Laura created this project to shine a light on exceptional women and their gifts to the community. They hope that Illuminating Women will encourage empathy, foster a sense of belonging, and inspire everyone.
