On Women’s Equality Day, we honor the women whose lives were forever changed by the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. Among the 168 people who were killed were 93 women and girls.

One of those was Doris “Adele” Higginbottom, a purchasing agent with the U.S. Department of Agriculture who worked on the fifth floor. Adele managed the Oklahoma City USDA’s Federal Women’s Program and, as a member of the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, traveled across the country advocating for workers’ rights.

This glove was left on the Fence by Adele’s son on the first anniversary of the bombing and is now part of the Memorial Archives.
