Before Deciding

When our representatives are making important decisions that impact all of our lives I believe it is important to ask one basic question before making
those decisions,
Is this good for
the children?

Just imagine what our world would be like if that question was asked prior to making decisions about going to war, the environment, education or healthcare.

Our Featured Guests

1.  Molly Murphy MacGregor shares her journey from being a high school teacher challenged by a student asking about what the women's movement was about to being at the center of a clearinghouse on women's history through her work as co-founder of the Women's National Women's History  Alliance (NWHA).  Molly just returned from her visit to Pasadena for the 2020 Rose Parade and participation in the float commemorating the Women's Suffrage Centennial of the passage of the 19th Amendment to the US Constitution.  She was able to witness the float passing by with the NWHA logo, as did TV viewers around the world. Molly talks of the thousands of contributors to raise  the funds for the float decorated entirely in flowers, leaves and bark. Molly and Elaine reminisce about being fortunate to be students of the first Women's Study program in the 1970s at Sonoma State University, when the lack of women's history was noted.  Even art history excluded women, which experienced a turning with the first Women's Art Show, and it was produced in Sonoma County by Women's Studies' students.  Molly shares how folks can join in on the year-long celebration of the right to vote for women, which may well be the year final year in meeting the required number of the states that have ratified the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA).

This Week in Herstory

Compilation by the National Women's History Alliance

National Women's History Alliance

History of NWHA.  In 1980, the National Women’s History Project (NWHP) was founded in Santa Rosa, California by Molly Murphy MacGregor, Mary Ruthsdotter, Maria Cuevas, Paula Hammett and Bette Morgan to broadcast women’s historical achievements.
The NWHP started by leading a coalition that successfully lobbied Congress to designate March as National Women’s History Month, now celebrated across the land.
Today, the NWHP, now the newly renamed National Women's History Alliance (NWHA),  is known nationally as the only clearinghouse providing information and training in multicultural women’s history for educators, community organizations, and parents-for anyone wanting to expand their understanding of women contributions to U. S. history.
