Women's History Month

Image: CanvaKey Moments and Remarkable Achievements In the hallowed halls of the East Room of the White House on March 18, 2013, history was made once again. It wasn't just a gathering; it was a celebration of resilience, courage, and the indomitable spirit of women across the United States. The occasion? The Women's History Month reception, a momentous event that underscored the importance of recognizing and honoring the contributions of women throughout history. As we celebrate Women's Month and International Women's Day, let us draw inspiration from the extraordinary women who have left an indelible mark on history. But before delving into their remarkable achievements, let's take a moment to reflect on the key moments that led to the establishment of National Women's History Month. Key Moments in the Establishment of National Women's History Month: - March 8, 1857: Female textile workers in New York City stage one of the first organized strikes by working women to protest unfair working conditions and unequal rights. Their demands include a shorter workday and decent wages, marking a pivotal moment in labor history and women's rights activism. - March 8, 1908: Women workers in the needle trades march through New York City's Lower East Side to protest against child labor, sweatshop working conditions, and advocate for women's suffrage. This demonstration underscores the intersectionality of women's rights issues and the ongoing struggle for social justice. - 1910: March 8th is officially designated as International Women's Day, marking a global celebration of women's achievements and a call to action for gender equality and women's rights around the world. - 1978: Women's History Week is established in the United States as an initiative to incorporate women's history into educational curricula. This recognition highlights the importance of acknowledging and celebrating the contributions of women throughout history. - 1987: The National Women's History Project successfully lobbies Congress to expand Women's History Week into National Women's History Month, recognizing the economic, political, and social contributions of women throughout the entire month of March. This designation serves to elevate the visibility of women's achievements and promote gender equality in all spheres of society. Now, let's celebrate Women's History Month by honoring some of the remarkable women who have blazed trails, shattered glass ceilings, and inspired generations to come.Remarkable Achievements of Extraordinary Women: - Rosa Parks (1913-2005): Known as the "Mother of the Civil Rights Movement," Rosa Parks' refusal to give up her seat on a segregated bus in Montgomery, Alabama, sparked a wave of protests and led to significant advancements in the fight for racial equality. - Marie Curie (1867-1934): A pioneering physicist and chemist, Marie Curie was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and remains the only person to have won Nobel Prizes in two different scientific fields. Her groundbreaking research on radioactivity laid the foundation for advancements in medical science. - Malala Yousafzai (1997-present): At just 17 years old, Malala Yousafzai became the youngest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize for her advocacy of education for girls in her native Pakistan, despite facing assassination attempts by the Taliban. - Amelia Earhart (1897-1937): A trailblazing aviator, Amelia Earhart became the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. Her courage and determination inspired generations of women to pursue their dreams, both in the skies and beyond. - Shirley Chisholm (1924-2005): In 1968, Shirley Chisholm made history as the first African American woman elected to the United States Congress. She was a fierce advocate for civil rights, women's rights, and social justice throughout her trailblazing political career. - Frida Kahlo (1907-1954): Renowned for her vibrant and introspective artwork, Frida Kahlo remains an icon of feminist art and Mexican culture. Despite facing numerous challenges, including chronic pain and disability, Kahlo's paintings continue to resonate with audiences around the world. - Audre Lorde (1934-1992): A poet, essayist, and civil rights activist, Audre Lorde used her writing to address issues of race, gender, and sexuality. Her work remains influential in feminist and queer theory, inspiring countless individuals to speak out against injustice. - Ada Lovelace (1815-1852): Often regarded as the world's first computer programmer, Ada Lovelace developed algorithms for Charles Babbage's early mechanical general-purpose computer, the Analytical Engine, in the mid-19th century. - Michelle Obama (1964-present): As the first African American First Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama championed causes such as education, health, and military families during her time in the White House. Her advocacy work and inspiring speeches continue to resonate with people worldwide. - Jane Goodall (1934-present): A primatologist and anthropologist, Jane Goodall's groundbreaking research on chimpanzees revolutionized our understanding of primate behavior and conservation. Her lifelong dedication to wildlife preservation and environmental activism has made her a global icon. These remarkable women and countless others have paved the way for progress and inspired future generations to dream big and defy expectations. As we honor their legacies during Women's History Month, let us recommit ourselves to the ongoing pursuit of equality and justice for all. Read the full article

As we continue to honor Women's History Month, we feature an interview from our oral history collection. In this 38-second clip, Gerda Lerner describes the need, in the second half of the twentieth century, to change the history profession. Early in her career, Lerner set out to do just that: she was one of the founders of the academic field of women's history. At the University of Wisconsin-Madison, she launched the first Ph.D. program in women's history.

Gerda Lerner was an Austrian-born American historian and author. In 1980, she moved to Madison and was appointed Robinson Edwards Professor of History at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where she taught until retiring in 1991. During her career, she wrote several books, including The Creation of Patriarchy (1986), The Creation of Feminist Consciousness (1993), and Why History Matters (1997). Ms. Lerner left a lasting impact on the field of history and the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Lerner passed away in Madison in 2013 at the age of 92. To read the essential information from this oral history, here’s its catalog record. To hear more about Lerner's experience before and at UW-Madison, contact the Archives to listen to the full interview.

A Nod to Women’s History Month

Growing up in the 60′s and 70′s I do not remember hearing much about or even celebrating the accomplishments of women let alone a month set aside for them. I do remember loving to check out biographies on Amelia Earhart, Babe Didrikson Zaharias and Annie Oakley in my late elementary school years. These were the women I could relate to and even imagine myself daring to be as spunky as them to accomplish some wildly male dominated achievement.

Women’s History Month originally started as Women’s History Week when in 1981 the Congress authorized and requested the President to proclaim the week beginning March 7, 1982 as “Women’s History Week.” This eventually turned into a whole month and since 1995, Presidents have issued a series of annual proclamations designating the month of March as “Women’s History Month.”

On my weekly visit to my local library I was delighted to see a beautiful display of books, CDs and videos for Women’s History Month. From it, I picked three Juvenile Non Fiction Books that I would love to press into the hands of any young or old girl who dares to dream big.

1. Her Story: 50 Women and Girls Who Shook up the World by Katherine Halligan and illustrated by Sarah Walsh

This book follows the life of fifty powerhouse women from around the globe and across time who managed to change the world as they knew it forever. Telling the stories of their childhoods, the challenges they faced, and the impact of their achievements, plus the illustrations are gorgeous.

2. Amelia to Zora: Twenty- Six Women Who Changed the World by Cynthia Chin- Lee Illustrated by Megan Halsey and Sean Addy

Author Cynthia Chin-Lee uses the alphabet to help us discover women who have made a difference in people’s lives. As we learn about these women the author hopes we will also see the possibilities in our own lives. To add a unique touch, illustrators, Halsey and Addy used intricate collages from events in the women’s lives.

3. Little Dreamers: Visionary Women Around the World by Vashti Harrison

The epigraph of this book I think says it all - To anyone whose ideas have been called impractical, idealistic, grandiose, whimsical, imaginative, or crazy. To anyone who dares to dream big. Author, Vashti Harrison hopes these biographies inspire you to create, invent, imagine: to try new things: to make mistakes; to ask questions.

It's International Women's History Day so I'm coming in a day early with Nevertheless, She Persisted. Please share and repost!

Born May 19, 1930 she was a playwright, a writer, and a political activist. In 1938 her family moved to a largely white neighborhood in Chicago’s South Side. Angry white residents greeted the family by throwing a brick through their window. Her family challenged racially restrictive laws of the time which resulted in the Supreme Court decision Hansberry v. Lee. On March 11, 1959 her play, A Raisin in the Sun opened on Brodaway becoming the first play written by an African American woman to do so. She fought not only for Civil Rights, but also for the rights of oppresed women throughout the world. She is Lorraine Hansberry.

Women in Religion

Women in many western religions face serious oppressions that damage and threaten their lives. Of course, many feminists already know this. Feminists in America understand how religion can tear a woman apart because of its outrageous laws written in their extreme dogmas. But what can we do? We can help them when they flee to our countries and protect them from the religious followers that may also reside there, hoping to seek justice on their eloping. But can feminists actually change culture and religion? How do they even start? Is it even moral or ethical to try and interfere with another’s culture and religion that is not our own? These are questions that we all need to agree upon before being the feminist vigilantes we so desperately crave to be. In the meantime, we should educate ourselves on influential women in religions. Here’s a great article that does just that:

ANNOUNCEMENT - 02/28/2023

View on Twitter

With February, and Black History Month, coming to an end, a new cause to raise awareness of is in order. If you missed the quotes for February's cause of the month, you can see them here!

March is Women's History Month, so, for March 2023 (and every March, to be frank), I will be sharing quotes pertaining to women's history.

"When feminist rhetoric is rooted in biases like racism, ableism, transmisogyny, anti-Semitism, and Islamophobia, it automatically works against marginalized women and against any concept of solidarity. It's not enough to know that other women with different experiences exist; you must also understand that they have their own feminism formed by that experience. Whether it's an argument that women who wear the hijab must be 'saved' from it, or reproductive-justice arguments that paint having a disabled baby as the worst possible outcome, the reality is that feminism can be marginalizing. If a liberation movement's own representatives are engaging with each other oppressively, then what progress can the movement make without fixing that internal problem?" - Mikki Kendall, Hood Feminism: Notes from the Women That a Movement Forgot

These are all the updates I had for this evening.

Thank you for reading! May every decision you make in the future be in the spirit of fairness and may the rest of your day NOT go to $#!7.

When Women Marched on Washington

March is Women’s History Month (WoOHoOo!) - Take the time to appreciate women and a world that certainly would not be the same without women.

Having a very strong, intelligent, & beautiful mother to look up to my whole life had helped shape my understanding of how real women are in real life: one of God’s most precious blessings. Having an older sister to look up to in my baby years (and help keep me in line hahaha) helped me behave, respect, and think about how to treat a lady (and totally taught me about the latest styles, trends, counter-culture, bands, music, fashion, etc). Having a wife helps me be a better man than I could have ever been on my own, and I’ve learned to listen, share, and pray for good days.

I pray that one day I can have daughters (and sons of course) of whom I may be able to care for & love & cherish & support.

Here’s to ALL WOMEN. I applaud you.

Gender inequality experienced during the Civil War:

General Francis Spinner, Treasurer of the United States, could pay women less than men, thought women would do a better job, and said. "I want to employ women to cut the Treasury notes." The greenbacks came off the press in large sheets and someone was needed to cut them into individual bills. At first needy women, left without any support when the men went off to war were simply handed a pair of scissors and told to go to work for hundred dollars a year, a substantial salary for a woman. Word spread about the well-paid but finger-blistering jobs and more women applied for them. Then additional positions opened to women, using them to detect counterfeits and count the currency.

Though the treasurer was pleased with his workers, he came in for a good bit of grief for his unorthodox hiring practices, with the women's teakettles in the Treasury windows providing a source of great amusement and ridicule. Congress eventually capped the women's salaries at $900 regardless of the work they were doing even as men doing lesser jobs made $1,200. [Source Cokie Roberts, Capital Dames, p. 208]
