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.

Commentary
by our host Elaine B. Holtz: Our
History is our Strength. In 1848 the movement for
women’s rights launched on a national level with the
Seneca Falls Convention organized by Elizabeth Cady
Stanton and Lucretia Mott. Following the convention, the
demand for the vote became a centerpiece of the women’s
rights movement. Stanton and Mott, along with Susan B.
Anthony and other activists, raised public awareness and
lobbied the government to grant voting rights to women.
After a lengthy battle, 72 years from 1848 to 1920,
these groups finally emerged victorious with the passage
of the 19th Amendment.
In 1980, the National Women’s History Project (NWHP) was
founded in Santa Rosa, California by today's guest Molly
Murphy MacGregor, along with 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, whose name was changed to the National
Women’s History Alliance, 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.
Molly Murphy MacGregor will also
be one of the special guests at the NOW Special Online
Event on Women's Equality Day, Thursday August 26th.
1. Our
guest,Molly Murphy
MacGregor, shares her path to leading up the
National Women's History Project. A biography of Emma
Goldman was the first inspiration in 1972, as she sought
to be more knowledgeable in the subject for her high
school students she was teaching. Molly went on do
graduate work at Sonoma State University in Women's
Studies, where she met Elaine. Eventually the
realization of the lack of publicity of the history of
women moved Molly to help found the National Women's
History Project. Their lobbying efforts led to President
Carter's Whitehouse Office in 1982 to call Molly and
announce that he would name the week beginning with
March 7 the National Women's History Week. Then Congress
in 1987 declared the whole month of March to be the
National Women's History Month. A few women took it as
their task to spread the need for this attention to
Women's History, and more women and men joined in the
effort to realize the goal. In 2018 the Project
was changed to Alliance to keep alive the history of
women all year long and to act as clearinghouse to list
women's history organizations' activity.
