  • 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.

    /b!/·t;) ~-· ,'7 t:~ .~.-l;> ~~ ~/ 1069C-627C IOiriA AND SOME IOWANS A Bibliography of Enrichment Books Compiled by The Iowa Association of School Librarians - PREFACE A knowledge of the history and traditions of our state can add security and confidence to the lives of young people torn by today's harried, often frustrating, life. This bibliography, Iowa and some Iowans, was prepared through the cooperation of the executive board of the Iowa Association of School Librarians in the hope that the books and pamphlets listed will supple­ ment and enrich the somewhat elusive material available in school libraries. Compilation of the material and search for additional information was done by the Professional Relations Committee of the Iowa Association of School Librarians; Mrs. Judy Casey, Marshalltown; Mrs, Lucille wahrenbrock, South Hamilton at Jewell; Mrs. Colleen Campbell, Independence; Mrs. Charlotte Zickefoose, Chairman, Waterloo; and committee tyoist, Mrs. Dawn Miller, Waterloo. One of the first questions facing the committee was whether or not to include privately printed or out-of-print material. It was decided that while books may be out-of-print, they often reappear. Many are available in public libraries, established school .libraries, county superintendent's personal libraries, and family libraries. It would be well to publicize in the community the need in school libraries for Iowa material. As attics or basements are cleared such material could be given to the school. Hrs. Campbell suggests, "People who say there isn't any Iowa history are only saying, 'I haven 1 t looked~'" Included at the end of the listing are names of suppliers of out-of­ print material, information about special libraries with extensive collections of Iowana, and periodicals recommended for ?urchase by all secondary school libraries.
