  • Examining the Role of Women in the Development of Public Relations
    Public Relations Journal Vol. 3, No. 1, Winter 2009 © 2009 Public Relations Society of America Examining The Role of Women in the Development of Public Relations Suzannah A. Patterson This essay documents the contributions of women to the history of public relations. It discusses the work of 27 noteworthy women who actively used public relations strategies, tactics, and tools to evoke significant social change. Women were selected on the basis of their effective or innovative use of public relations, their contributions to society through the use of public relations, and the inspiration they engendered through public relations. Though severely limited by the social norms of their times, these women made creative use of numerous public relations strategies, tactics, and tools including symbolism, public debate, positioning, printed material, the media tour, and oratory. Introduction This essay, based on historical analysis, comprises a history of public relations as developed by women. Their contributions to the early development and implementation of public relations strategies and tactics makes their work meritorious of being compiled into this history. With women representing up to 90 percent of students engaged in the study of public relations in most universities, they must be provided an appropriate history that includes appropriate role models. Today’s women public relations students not only wish to make a living in the practice of public relations, but like their predecessors, wish to evoke change through their effective use of public relations. In addition, the early contributions of women to the development of public relations are both noteworthy in their own right and essential to a comprehensive understanding of the field.

  • New York State Senate's "Women of Distinction"Exhibit
    Welcome to the New York State Senate Women of Distinction Exhibit MARCH 2017 Dear Friends: Women have been prominent in shaping our American history. To celebrate these women, and in recognition of Women’s History Month, the New York State Senate developed the Historic Women of Distinction exhibit. Every March, we celebrate famous women in several disciplines whose contributions have earned them recognition as New York’s Historic Women of Distinction. The Women of Distinction exhibit features historic New York women, from suffragists to geneticists, labor organizers to entertainers, whose contributions are still felt today and who stand as an inspiration to the next generation of inventors, explorers and achievers. Some of the women in the display include Susan B. Anthony, Lucille Ball, “Grandma Moses” Robertson, Harriet TubmanBlank and Emma Willard, among others - all with strong links to New York State. Women’s History Month is a time to reflect on the enormous contributions of great women from our past. The Women of Distinction exhibit highlights just a few of these extraordinary women and demonstrates the indelible mark that they have made on our great state. Established in 1998, the Women of Distinction program was created to recognize the historic contribution of New York women who exemplify personal excellence, courage, selflessness, integrity and perseverance and serve as an example to all New Yorkers. The Senate’s Historical Women of Distinction is an annual celebration that coincides with national Women’s History Month, observed in March. We hope you will take the time to enjoy our exhibit and marvel at the accomplishments of our fellow New Yorkers.
