Gals Guide is creating a women’s history classroom in Moorhead, Minnesota. Our classes are targeted to adults, but we do host the occasional Girl Scout Troupe (we have our own Girl Scout patch, too!). Our classes are more than names and dates; we unearth wisdom, wellness, and solidarity with women we don’t generally hear about in school. Gals Guide class showcases the subtle and bold ways that women overcome obstacles. How you, too, can overcome obstacles, because if women in history did it with far fewer resources and rights – imagine what you can do?!!

Since 2016, Gals Guide has had classes about writing, history, crafting, pop culture, and more. Gals Guide has already taught over 1,500 students! Our classes are a gentle intellectual lane for people who want to learn and deep dive into women’s history for inner space and an interconnected community. With this new space in Moorhead, we’ll have in-person-only classes as well as classes broadcast from Moorhead to audiences around the world (we have a sister location in Ireland). Our classes are for people who crave meaning and equity for women, as well as time to pause and reflect on the bigger picture. Our goal is to educate and inspire women to apply the authenticity, bravery, and creativity of the women who have been hidden in the shadows of history for too long.

Gals Guide was formed in Indiana but moved to Minnesota in 2025. After a year of searching, we found a location in Moorhead for in-person classes and to house our 5,000+ women’s history resource book collection…now we need to get it ready for classes!
