Pheobe Seham along with others began brainstorming the development of the Women's Rights Information Center in 1973. An abandoned building was bought in 1982 and the center was created by architect Eleanor Kendall Pettersen. 

The WRIC creates programs to help women, such as job training, therapy, educational support, and helping victims of domestic abuse and sexual violence.
