Birth of women’s history month

Filed under: feminism, blatherings, heroines — Ms. Rose @ 11:15 pm

I thought this blog did a great job of talking about the birth of Women’s History Month in the United States.

As word spread rapidly across the nation, state departments of education encouraged celebrations of National Women’s History Week as an effective means to achieving equity goals within classrooms. Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York, Oregon, Alaska, and other states developed and distributed curriculum materials all of their public schools. Organizations sponsored essay contests and other special programs in their local areas.

Also I think I need to write a MUCH longer post about motherhood, pursuing a career, and feminism.  Its always seems to be a contentious issues amongst feminists and women in general.

I want to gather my thoughts before I approach that.
