Women’sHistory is

Everywhere: 10 Ideas for

Celebrating InCommunities

“Just think of the ideas, the inventions, the social movements that have sodramatically altered our society. Now, many of those movements and ideaswe can trace to our own founding, our founding documents: the Constitutionand the Bill of Rights. And we can then follow those ideas as they movetoward Seneca Falls, where 150 years ago, women struggled to articulatewhat their rights should be.

From women’s struggle to gain the right to vote to gaining the access that weneeded in the halls of academia, to pursuing the jobs and businessopportunities we were qualified for, to competing on the field of sports, wehave seen many breathtaking changes.

Whether we know the names of the women who have done these acts becausethey stand in history, or we see them in the television or the newspapercoverage, we know that for everyone whose name we know there arecountless women who are engaged every day in the ordinary, butremarkable, acts of citizenship.”

Commission Members: Dr. Johnnetta B. Cole, J. Michael Cook, Dr. Barbara Goldsmith, LaDonna Harris, Gloria Johnson, Dr. Elaine Kim, Dr. Ellen Ochoa, Anna Eleanor Roosevelt, Irene Wurtzel

Much of the work done by women,individually as volunteers and asmembers of clubs and organizations,has occurred in and for the benefit oflocal communities. Women foundedbusinesses, libraries, hospitals, schoolsand parks. Women worked side-by-side with the men who arememorialized as heroes in ourcommunities but most women

pioneers have gone largelyunrecognized; most local historicalsites identify only the men who livedthere. Whether this is a result ofconscious suppression or ignorance,the fact that few women appear inhistory books or the lore of our heroicancestors is evident.

To increase awareness of theimportant roles local women haveplayed throughout American history,the President’s Commission on the

Celebration of Women in AmericanHistory is publishing this handbook toguide communities in recognizing andcelebrating local women. Includedare suggestions for getting started andmany resources to support theorganizers as they construct their plansfor making women’s history part of thefabric of local community life.

The How-To Community Handbookdescribes in greater detail several ofthe recommendations in the

Commission’s March 1999 report tothe President. A complete copy of theCommission report may be obtainedby writing to the

Ten Celebrationsand How toCreate Them

Women Win the Right to Vote: Tell theStory of Suffrage in LocalCommunities

The year 2000 will mark the 80thanniversary of the passage of theWomen’s Suffrage Amendment to theConstitution. Passage of thisamendment has been acknowledged asthe greatest expansion of democracy ona single day in our history as a nation.Yet the hard-fought battles of thesuffragists who worked for 72 years towin the right to vote are rarelyremembered.

From the first Women’s RightsConvention in Seneca Falls, NY, in July,1848 to the victory in 1920 whenPresident Wilson signed the 19thAmendment to the Constitution,women across America worked in ever-increasing numbers to win thefull rights of citizenship. They wentdoor-to-door asking for petitionsignatures. They stood on ladders onstreet corners and wagons parked atcrossroads giving speeches to anyone

who would listen. They published theirown newspapers, organized massiveparades and precinct-level politicalcampaigns and they picketed the WhiteHouse. They encountered insults,ridicule, abuse and even foundthemselves behind bars to win therights promised in the Declaration ofIndependence.

Women across the nation were findingthe most effective ways to organize intheir communities, and were using theirvoices to make a difference. How didwomen work for suffrage in your state?How has their story been passed downthrough the generations?

There is no better way to remember thevalue of our rights as citizens than tohonor the pioneers who madewomen’s rights possible. Celebratethe millennial year bycommemorating the 80thanniversary of women’ssuffrage.

How to get started telling thestory of suffrage as part of women’shistory in local communities:• Contact The National Women’s

History Project (707) 838-6000 orwww.nwhp.org to request their

guidelines for developingcommunity celebrations of women’shistory. The National Women’sHistory Project has succeeded inraising the national awareness of theimportance of women’s history bydesignating March as NationalWomen’s History Month.

• Identify women’s groups in yourcommunity that may already knowthe local suffrage history story. Callyour local chapter of the League ofWomen Voters or contact your statewomen’s commission. These groupsmay help identify leadersknowledgeable about suffrage whocould serve as resources fordeveloping your communitycelebration.

• Community groups may choose tohonor the leaders who organized thesuffrage campaigns and state

legislators whose votes madewomen’s votes the law of the

land.• Organize a conference

to detail how suffrageintroduced change and led the

way for sweeping lifestyle changesfor women and their families.

• Call the public relations office ofyour local college or university todetermine whether there is a

Women’s History Department. Evenif there is not a Women’s HistoryDepartment, there may be a facultyexpert in the field. If so, considerscheduling that person as a lecturerfor women’s groups.

• Develop a suggested reading list ofwomen’s history books that parentscan read with their children.Reading lists could be researchedand developed by various agegroups, with the help of localteachers. You can ask your locallibraries to help compile lists.

• Suggest that local libraries organizestory-telling sessions for childreninviting local leaders to share storiesof the brave women and men whoachieved the suffrage victory. Youcan begin by calling your mainlibrary and asking how to contactthe local “Friends of the Library”group.

• Consult with your local schoolboard to determine whether theschool system offers a women’shistory program that includessuffrage. Some schools havevolunteers who come to class inhistorical dress to dramatize anddiscuss historic figures. Develop alist of teachers in your area who usethis teaching tool and solicit their

2

advice and help in expanding theprogram.

• Sponsor an essay contest forschoolchildren about women’shistory, and submit the essays toyour local newspaper, or publishthem in your club newsletters.

• Begin a Women’s History BookClub. People could read aboutdifferent topic areas: local women’shistory, women and politics, womenand medicine, women in wartime,women and business, women andcivil rights, women and education,women and music, women andliterature, etc.

• Locate skilled library researchvolunteers to review historicalmicrofilm of local newspapers tolearn more about suffrage activitiesin your community. Publish theirfindings.

• Determine whether local suffragistspassed down through their families averbal history of their lives, and seekout elders who may remember thosestories. Interview these “verbalhistorians” and create a videodocument of what was it like forthem. Be sure to ask them howpeople initially responded to thenotion of the rights we now take forgranted.

• Enlist the help of local publicistswho can promote women’s historyby contacting local media to spurinterest in coverage of “verbalhistorians” as a local interest storyfor the 80th anniversary.

• Ask city officials to place an historicalmarker to honor the site where asuffrage meeting was held. Toeducate future generations, markerscould include a description of thedays before women won the vote.

Find the “Hidden Women:” DevelopAccess and Archives

The President’s Commission on theCelebration of Women in AmericanHistory heard from many speakersduring their yearlong series ofhearings held across thecountry. The Commissionheard from a diversegroup of people—especially those withprofessional expertise aslibrarians, preservationists andarchivists—about the need to allocateserious resources to the identificationand preservation of original material.Groundbreaking work is underway in

the field of women’s history. It isimportant to realize that increasedscholarship requires greater access tooriginal materials, and more attentionto finding and cataloguing materialrelated to women.

Diaries, letters and other records enablescholars to study and document thehistory of women’s lives, yet much ofthis material sits unmarked andunnoticed. Such records could be thesource of valuable information thatcould make history come alive. A goodexample of how these collectionscontribute to our communities comesfrom the General Federation ofWomen’s Clubs (GFWC). In 1935, theHighmore Woman’s Club in SouthDakota established a PioneerDaughters Department to honor the

memory and spirit of women whopioneered in their states. The

project continued to growover the years butremained “hidden” until

1987 when a doctoralcandidate discovered it in the

course of her research and called it“possibly the largest untappedcollection of pioneer women’s historyin the nation.” In 1998, when GFWCof South Dakota relinquished the

unique collection to the South DakotaHistorical Society, it contained morethan 6,000 women’s stories. Portionsare now incorporated in “SouthDakota: A Journey Through Time,” atextbook prepared for adult readers.From the papers of famous women likeEleanor Roosevelt to the writings of IdaB. Wells, each collection provides newinsight into the lives of Americans andthe history that shapes our future.

How to get started developing accessand archives: • Enhance scholarship by helping

scholars and the general public gainaccess to original materials.Volunteer at your local library orhistorical society and focus attentionon finding and cataloguing materialrelated to women’s history.

• Increased financial support couldthrust this material into public view.Invite a local corporation,foundation, or non-profitorganization — particularly thosefocused upon women’s concerns—to help underwrite the cost ofresearching and publishing women’spapers.

• Bring information out of the attic andinto academia. Place an ad in yourlocal newspaper requesting old

family diaries, letters and otherrecords that could promote the studyand documentation of women’s livesin your community.

• Call the public relations or women’shistory departments of a nearbyuniversity to inquire how academicdiscoveries about women’s historyare made accessible to the public.Local women’s organizations orhistory societies could join togetherwith universities to host symposia,networking lunchtime lectures, andother events to showcase theresearch.

• Begin a scholarship fund toencourage and sponsor a student atyour local college or university towrite a women’s history thesis.Scholarships encourage students topursue intensive study on a topicthat interests them. Women’s studiesprograms would benefit fromcommunity support.

• Take an active role in ensuring yourAlma Mater is cataloging women’shistory documents—from personaldiaries and oral histories tosignificant legislation. Encourageyour alumni group to start a fund-raising campaign or make donationstoward the establishment of ascholarship fund for a student who

could research and cataloguewomen’s history documents.

• The American HistoricalAssociation’s Web sitewww.theaha.org containsinformation about the field ofwomen’s history and features adirectory of history departments withexpertise in women’s history.

• The STORIES Center’s Cameo LifeStories Program (formerly calledEverywoman’s Story Project) focuseson collecting and sharing thepersonal stories of women’s historywww.thestoriescenter.org. Thisprogram uses a questionnaire ofabout 90 inquiries to help peopledocument women’s history. Morethan a quarter of a million copieshave been distributed to individuals,including cultural anthropologistsand doctoral candidates. Thestories of living women andthose stories recordedposthumously arestored in Arizona StateUniversity’s Fletcher Library.Eventually, these documentswill be moved to the NationalMuseum of Women’s History toserve as an archive of women’spersonal histories.

• The STORIES Center also has a

program for young people calledFOURWORDS, which focuses ongetting young girls to see themselvesas the authors of their own lives.FOURWORDS demonstrates theimportant contributions of women’spersonal histories to our nation’sheritage. Contact:

The state of Georgia has launched anexciting new women’s history

initiative to integrate women’shistory into existing programs

that record, document,interpret and preserve

historic places. The initiativewill identify and document

historic places associated withwomen, and reinterpret historic sites toreflect an understanding of thecontributions women made at the site.Georgia’s program includes the

production of publications, heritageeducation programs and guidebooks toincrease public awareness.

Georgia’s program began with aregional conference on women’shistory and historic preservation, and isfunded by the Georgia legislature. Adocument establishing the significanceof women-related historic resources isalso being produced. The initiative willdocument at least five National Registernominations for women-related historicsites.

How to get started establishingstatewide women’s history initiatives: • The Georgia legislature has

established itself as a role model forother states in the field of women’shistory. Its precedent-setting initiativeto add five women-related historicsites to the state register in the year2000, if followed by every state,could add 250 sites nationally in themillennial year. For furtherinformation about the Georgiainitiative, please contact:

list of the women representing yourstate in the state legislature. Youcould lobby these women tosponsor legislation that wouldprovide funding for statewidewomen’s historic sites, similar to theGeorgia initiatives. You could alsoinvite these elected officials to telltheir stories of how they won theiroffices to local youth groups.

• The National Endowment for theHumanities is the federal agency thatis “expanding America’sunderstanding of who we were, whowe are, and who we will be.” TheEndowment’s website www.neh.govcontains a Directory of StateHumanities Councils. The directory,available atwww.neh.gov/html/states.html,provides contact information for thehumanities councils in each state.

Honor the Work of Women’sOrganizations: Build an Honor Rollof Local Volunteers

An accurate portrayal of women’shistory will include recognition of theimportant role played by womenworking together iin volunteer groups.

From the earliest days of the femaleanti-slavery societies to Chicago’s HullHouse and today’s serviceorganizations, American women haveorganized joint efforts to addresssociety’s greatest challenges. Women’sorganizations were instrumental inestablishing public hospitals and publicparks. Women initiated libraries in newtowns and established relieforganizations for families in distress.From campaigns to win the right to voteto creating public awareness of childabuse and domestic violence, womenhave always been at the forefront ofsocietal advances. Individual womenhave contributed thousands ofvolunteer hours to building ourcommunities. Contemporary serviceorganizations continue that proudtradition.

How to get started building anhonor roll of localvolunteers: • Community

organizations should jointogether to identify groups thatmade significant contributions tothe lives of their citizens. Examinethe histories of local volunteerorganizations and the files of localnewspapers to locate women who

have labored behind the scenes, outof public view. Using the identifiedwomen, develop a communityhonor roll to memorialize both thegroups and their individual leaders.A plaque citing theaccomplishments of these womencould then be displayed incommunity buildings such as cityhall, the public library or a park.

• Honor women in your communitywho are the driving force behindinstitutions or programs bydedicating a sculpture of anhistorical woman in their names.

• Boston women have designed anetworking web site connectingBoston area women’s organizations.More than 35 local organizations havejoined together to share the largevolumes of information contained intheir individual archives. Their web

site features a detailed calendarabout Boston-area events

concerning women.Boston’s web site promises to

help organizations shareinformation about women’s history,

and also allows for rapid and effectivecoalition building amongorganizations. Web site design offersan opportunity to enlist the help andimagination of youth in the

community. You can visit the BostonWomen’s Web athttp://www.bostonwomen.com/.

Create Community Women’s History Trails: Develop a Map of Local Women’s History Sites

Creating history trails can bring historyto life in local communities. Trails maytrace the path of women’s firsts: the firstschool to admit women, the firstwoman doctor or newspaper publisheror engineer, the first woman elected tooffice. Local communities may havebeen the site of a dramatic suffragecampaign, a clean milk campaign or alabor strike led by women workers.Telling the stories through a women’shistory trail is an effective reminder ofthe courage shown by womenpioneers.

How to get started developing a mapof local women’s history sites: • Bring students to work on trail

projects. The community willbenefit from enthusiastic youngresearchers, who, in turn, will gainvaluable experience. A history trail

7

A HOW-TO COMMUNITY HANDBOOK 5

designed with the help of youngpeople is likely to includeinformation that other young peoplewill find interesting.

• Start at the most basic level—yourneighborhood school. Elementaryas well as high school teacherscould incorporate age-appropriateresearch and work on women’shistory into their lessons.

• The National Park Service hasdeveloped several women’s historytrails that could serve as models fordeveloping local maps. As anexample, the website, “PlacesWhere Women Made History”www.cr.nps.gov/nr/travel/pwwmh,commemorates the 150thanniversary of the first Women’sRights Convention in Seneca Falls,NY. This National Register ofHistoric Places focuses on 74historic places in New York andMassachusetts significant towomen’s history and theaccomplishments of Americanwomen who made outstandingcontributions to education,government, medicine, the arts,commerce, women’s suffrage andthe early civil rights movement.

• Your map may include women whoused their writing skills to drawattention to the historicalcontributions of women. Forexample, visit the websitehttp://willacather.org/ to discoverPulitzer Prize winner Willa Cather,who wrote, “The history of everycountry begins in the heart of a manor a woman.”

Create a City Space to Honor Women:Build a Women’s History Park

Building women’s parks is a creativeand productive way to commemoratethe lives of local historical figures andhonor the women who live in thecommunity today. In Yellow Springs,Ohio, the Women’s Park wasfinanced through the sale of tilesbearing the names of localwomen. These tiles,honoring women and theircontributions to thecommunity, their serviceorganizations or their families, areincorporated into the park’s design. Theresponse to the Yellow SpringsWomen’s Park has been so positive thatpark organizers are now planning to

produce a book about the womenfeatured on the tiles.

Another notable example of women’sparks is the Hillary Rodham ClintonWomen’s Park in Chicago, now underconstruction. This four-acre green spacewas dedicated in October 1997, inhonor of the First Lady’s 50th birthday. A15-member community advisorycouncil manages it.

For more information about the HillaryRodham Clinton Women’s Park andGardens of Chicago, contact MattNielson, phone (312) 744-1373; fax(312) 744-9629 or e-mail:dcaniels@mcs.net. A website isavailable at www.cichi.il.us.

Communities should considerestablishing women’s parks. Both

the informal organizations of theYellow Springs Women’s Park

and the more formallystructured Hillary Rodham

Clinton Women’s Park andGardens of Chicago bring elected

officials and broad cross-sections ofresidents together to honor some oftheir best-loved and most respectedcitizens.

How to get started building a women’shistory park:• Contact Imogen Trolander, organizer

and developer of the Yellow SpringsWomen’s Park in Yellow Springs,Ohio.

Imogen Trolander1475 President StreetYellow Springs, OH 45387(937) 767-4551

• Work with your mayor and localofficials to designate a space in yourcommunity for the park. Even asmall plot can serve a mightypurpose.

• Organize a group of citizens whowill assume responsibility for thepark’s maintenance after it isinstalled. Perpetual care is essentialbut not always provided by localgovernments with limited budgets.

Build a Cooperative CommunityProject: Design and Place HistoricMarkers

Designing and placing historic markerscan elevate the visibility of women’slives and their achievements. Everystep of the process calls for public

8

6 PRESIDENT’S COMMISSION ON THE CELEBRATION OF WOMEN IN AMERICAN HISTORY

participation. This includes research,marker design, decisions on markerplacement, and, finally, arrangementsfor unveiling ceremonies.

How to get started designing andplacing historic markers: • Local governments can work with

community organizations to sponsorhistoric marker projects. Schoolchildren can learn about theircommunities by working withofficials and becoming involved inevery aspect of the work. Bydesigning markers and researchingsuggested sites, children and theirleaders can take history beyond thetextbook to the places wherehistorically important women livedand worked.

• Local historical societies, libraries,religious organizations and countyand municipal clerks may beespecially rich sources ofinformation about local historicalevents and sites.

• Adding markers to existing sites is animportant step toward making allour historical celebrations moreinclusive by reminding us thatwomen lived and performedimportant work there, too.

• A division of the National Archives,under the direction of John Byrne,has constructed a list of registeredhistoric sites where women mayhave made significant contributions.These sites are listed in the Appendixas possible starting points forcommunities developing markersand trails.

Encourage Young People to DiscoverWomen’s History: Include Youth in aWomen’s History Project

Speakers frequently reminded theCommission of the importance ofmaking women’s history accessible toyoung women and men. Collegestudents and professors told us there isgreat interest in women’s history atthe college level, but studentstoo often arrive at collegewith little or no awarenessof that history. This lack ofawareness may be mitigatedby initiating several of the projectslisted in this handbook. The resultingnew focus on women’s history willpromote interest among studentsespecially if young people are includedin the planning process for the projects.

Some of the most innovative women’shistory projects now underway alreadyinclude young people as participants.This inclusion is especially important inlight of the increased attention to familytourism. If young people are tobecome aware of the contributions ofwomen to our history, then women’shistory sites must be included in thefamily’s destinations. The growth ofwomen’s history sites on the Internet isalso promising, since technology isbecoming the medium of choice foryoung people.

How to get started including youth ina women’s history project: • Millennial planners should

incorporate at least one women’shistory project that includes youngpeople as planners, researchers,narrators and/or audience. Projects

described elsewhere in thisreport, such as developing

local history trails, historicmarkers or finding forgotten

women of historicalsignificance in the archives are

excellent vehicles for involvingelementary and secondary schoolstudents.

• Many children spend their after-school hours in community centersrun by non-profit groups. Research

the community centers that servicechildren in your neighborhood.Develop a storytelling programabout historical women, and deliverit regularly to engage children inlearning about women’s history.

• Contact the principal of yourneighborhood school or yourcommunity school board. Tell yourchildren’s teachers about your desireto ensure that their history educationincludes women. Volunteer to tellstories of historical women in yourschools as a way of introducingwomen’s history into the localcurriculum.

• Take a “tour” of the NationalMuseum of Women’s History on theInternet at www.nmwh.org. TheNational Museum of Women’sHistory in Washington, DC is anonpartisan, nonprofit educationalinstitution. The museum isdedicated to preserving, displaying,interpreting, and celebrating thehistoric contributions and rich,diverse experiences of women, andrestoring this heritage to the culturalmainstream. Also take a tour of theNational Women’s Hall of Fame onthe Internet athttp://www.greatwomen.org/. Youwill find a rich selection ofbiographies of great women at this

9

A HOW-TO COMMUNITY HANDBOOK 7

site, and you will have theopportunity to pay tribute to animportant woman in your life.

• Ask local scouting troop leaders topromote work on women’s history.Many scouting organizations haveaward badges to encourage troopmembers in such pursuits.

• The American Legion sponsors aGirls State program in all 50 statesfor high school juniors selected dueto their interest in public service. Byworking with your local AmericanLegion sponsors, you could developa program to hold interactivediscussions with groups of theseyoung women about the historicalwomen of interest to them.Generating enthusiasm among theseyoung leaders can have significantimpact among their peers.

• Many high schools have studentorganizations that are required toparticipate in community serviceprojects. Work with a local teacherto develop a program where thesestudents can celebrate Women’sHistory Month in their schools aspart of their community servicerequirement.

• Develop an intergenerationalprogram in which high school

students meet with your club tolearn and ask questions abouthistory. These students could thenvisit elementary and middle schoolsto share the stories about local“heroines” with the youngerstudents.

• Encourage young people to discoverwomen’s history by arranging foryoung women to spend time withthe women who have taken differentlife paths in their communities. Thebest way to get women interested inwomen’s history is to build theirconfidence about what they can dowith their own lives, and then feedthem the stories of the role modelsthey will turn to for inspiration whenthe going gets tough.

Support Local Women’s HistoryInstitutions: Create or HostExhibits About Women

Women’s history museums areemerging around the country.Among them are the Women of theWest Museum in Boulder, CO, theWomen’s History Museum: Institute forthe Future in Dallas, TX, the National

Women’s History Museum inWashington, D.C., the NationalWomen’s Party Sewell-Belmont Housein Washington, DC, the NationalCowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame inFort Worth, TX., and the NationalWomen’s Hall of Fame in Seneca Falls,NY. While every community may nothave the resources to establish amuseum dedicated to women’s history,communities can devote some publicspace to exhibits honoring localwomen who contributed time andenergy to the life of the community.

How to get started creating or hostingexhibits about women: • In the report to President Clinton, the

Commission recommended anational traveling exhibit aboutwomen in American history thatwould include local women from

each of the communities thathosted the exhibit. This

exhibit may become thegenesis of a permanent

collection of stories aboutlocal women. Town halls, county

courts and local libraries areexcellent venues for these exhibits,where the installation itself becomesa reason to celebrate women in

American history. Communities thatwould like to host the travelingexhibit may register their interest onthe Commission’s homepage:www.gsa.gov/staff/pa/whc.htm.

• Talk to your local museum aboutadding a women’s history exhibit.Offer to assist the museum with theresearch and design of this exhibit.

• The American Association ofMuseums (www.aam-us.org) canprovide information about theassociation, issues of concern tonew museums, and how to startyour own museum. Contact:

10Women’s History is About EveryWoman: Hold an All-Inclusive “Her-itage” Celebration

At every hearing and through theCommission’s correspondence, therewas a strong focus on the diversity ofour nation’s citizens and theimportance of respecting that diversityin all the projects recommended by theCommission. The Commission wantsto establish that the only accuratehistory is that which includes the livesand accomplishments of women. TheCommission also believes that the only

accurate representation of women’shistory is that which encompasses thelives of all women: from NativeAmericans to women of color, fromAsian Americans to EuropeanAmericans, from every country of originand every economic circumstance.

How to get started holding an all-inclusive “her-itage” celebration: • Ethnic bazaars, fairs and parades

held across the country offer anopportunity to tell the story ofwomen in many differentcommunities, but few aremulticultural or focus on the

accomplishments of women outsidethe kitchen or the craft room. Youmay want to plan a “her-itage”millennial celebration that representsthe diversity within the localcommunity and focuses on thestories of the “she-roes” who broughttheir children to build a new nation.

• Capture the memories of first-,second-, and third-generationAmericans who can document theircontributions and build a richtapestry of memories about thewomen who pioneered thecommunity.

• Religious and service organizations

can enlist the seniors among theirmembers to tell the stories of theirshe-roes, of how their foremotherscame to this country and what theirown lives were like as children.

• The American Historical Association(www.theaha.org ) can suggestacademic historians from majorresearch institutions as speakers forwomen’s history events. Contact:
