Women's History Is Everywhere: 10 Ideas for Celebrating in Communities
Women’s History is Everywhere: 10 Ideas for Celebrating In Communities A How-To Community Handbook Prepared by The President’s Commission on the Celebration of Women in American History “Just think of the ideas, the inventions, the social movements that have so dramatically altered our society. Now, many of those movements and ideas we can trace to our own founding, our founding documents: the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. And we can then follow those ideas as they move toward Seneca Falls, where 150 years ago, women struggled to articulate what their rights should be. From women’s struggle to gain the right to vote to gaining the access that we needed in the halls of academia, to pursuing the jobs and business opportunities we were qualified for, to competing on the field of sports, we have seen many breathtaking changes. Whether we know the names of the women who have done these acts because they stand in history, or we see them in the television or the newspaper coverage, we know that for everyone whose name we know there are countless women who are engaged every day in the ordinary, but remarkable, acts of citizenship.” —- Hillary Rodham Clinton, March 15, 1999 Women’s History is Everywhere: 10 Ideas for Celebrating In Communities A How-To Community Handbook prepared by the President’s Commission on the Celebration of Women in American History Commission Co-Chairs: Ann Lewis and Beth Newburger Commission Members: Dr. Johnnetta B.

The Catalina Vista Historic District is considered significant under National Register criterion "A" for is association with community development in Tucson. Community development significance is described by the historic context "Tucson Subdivisions in Transition, 1940-1955 ." The historic district is also considered significant under National Register criterion "C" as being representative of architectural styles dominant in Tucson during World War Two and.the post-WWII transitional era. Architectural significance is described by the historic context "Tucson Architectural Styles in Transition, 1940-1955," Although the transitional era of community and architectural development took place from 1940 to 1955, the period of significance for the Historic District starts in 1903 when suburban residential development first began in district area and ends in 1951 at the fifty-year limit for National Register significance. This period of significance allows for the inclusion of the "Potter Place" property under the historical context "Residential Subdivision Development in Tucson, 1903- 1940 ." The Catalina Vista neighborhood, of Tucson is located in' Section 5 of Township 14 South, Range 14 East, of the Crila and- Salt River Base and Meridian in Arizona.
