:RPHQ·V+LVWRU\*D]HWWH 2013 A Gazette From the National Women’s History Project Volume 5 Kh][aYd PHF>GL  ABLMHKR Catalog Inside

Dear Friends - Women Inspiring Innovation through Imagination, our 2013 Women's History Month theme, recognizes American women's outstanding contributions to the !elds of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). We are proud to honor eighteen women whose pioneering work includes scienti!c breakthroughs, life-saving discoveries, invention of new technologies, creation of organizations, and the promotion of women and girls in STEM. Unfortunately, women remain largely underrepresented in many STEM professions and academic programs. In this gazette we highlight many organizations and programs working to promote women's and girls’ interest and participation in STEM. From engaging elementary students in STEM to !ghting pay discrimination, their efforts are actively working to change the face of STEM. We invite you to explore the many women who have made extraordinary contributions to the STEM !elds. We also encourage you to consider the ways in which you can promote women and girls in STEM. Thanks for your support.

On March 3, 1913, the day before Woodrow Wilson’s inauguration, the National American Women Su"rage Association held a massive march down Pennsylvania Avenue in support of woman’s su"rage. Organiza- tions from every state participated with #oats, historic reenactments, and great pageantry and each carrying banners representing their state, their organization, and the need for woman’s su"rage.

The only Black women’s organization to walk in the parade was the new- ly formed Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, who bravely and proudly marched under their banner alongside honorary member Mary Church Terrell. Delta Sigma Theta Sorority is organizing the centennial celebration and will be inviting women’s groups who have been engaged in the quest for equality to join them on March 3, 2013.
