    Selected Highlights of Women’s History United States & Connecticut 1773 to 2015 The Permanent Commission on the Status of Women omen have made many contributions, large and Wsmall, to the history of our state and our nation. Although their accomplishments are too often left un- recorded, women deserve to take their rightful place in the annals of achievement in politics, science and inven- Our tion, medicine, the armed forces, the arts, athletics, and h philanthropy. 40t While this is by no means a complete history, this book attempts to remedy the obscurity to which too many Year women have been relegated.

  • Guide to Women's History Resources at the American Heritage Center
    GUIDE TO WOMEN'S HISTORY RESOURCES AT THE AMERICAN HERITAGE CENTER "'You know out in Wyoming we have had woman suffrage for fifty years and there is no such thing as an anti-suffrage man in our state -- much less a woman.'" Grace Raymond Hebard, quoted in the New York Tribune, May 2, 1920. Compiled By Jennifer King, Mark L. Shelstad, Carol Bowers, and D. C. Thompson 2006 Edited By Robyn Goforth (2009), Tyler Eastman (2012) PREFACE The American Heritage Center holdings include a wealth of material on women's issues as well as numerous collections from women who gained prominence in national and regional affairs. The AHC, part of the University of Wyoming (the only university in the "Equality State") continues a long tradition of collecting significant materials in these areas. The first great collector of materials at the University, Dr. Grace Raymond Hebard, was herself an important figure in the national suffrage movement, as materials in her collection indicate. Hebard's successors continued such accessions, even at times when many other repositories were focusing their attentions on "the great men." For instance, they collected diaries of Oregon Trail travelers and accounts of life when Wyoming was even more of a frontier than it is today. Another woman, Lola Homsher, was the first formally designated University archivist and her efforts to gain materials from and about women accelerated during the service of Dean Krakel, Dr. Gene Gressley, and present director Dr. Michael Devine. As a result of this work, the AHC collections now contain the papers of pioneering women in the fields of journalism, film, environmental activism, literature, and politics, among other endeavors.

  • Second Alert
    SECOND ALERT – HB0079, Recall of elected officials-commission run municipalities, overwhelmingly passed Introduction last Wednesday (Feb 10, 2016) with 44 Aye/Yes votes, 8 Nay/No votes, and 8 Excused. Wyoming Citizens need to understand how crucial it is to kill this bill and act on it THIS WEEKEND! As usual, there is a lot of in-depth info behind the bill and it is challenging to encapsulate it in a short summary. This is our best attempt to do just that – by giving you the short story as well as the longer story for those who prefer to know the necessary details. Whether you choose to read the short story, the long story, or both – please be sure to read page 4 on how to proactively move forward to KILL HB0079. AT A GLANCE - NEED TO KNOW INFO ABOUT HB0079 The bill wants to eliminate the ONLY recall law that exists in the state of Wyoming. That law is §15-4-110. The recall law likely EFFECTS OVER 79,000 WYOMING CITIZENS who reside in Wyoming Charter Cities and Towns – namely Gillette, Green River, Jackson, Cody, Douglas, Powell and Afton Eliminating the recall law indirectly effects ALL Wyoming Citizens HB0079 likely violates Article 3, Section 27 of our WY State Constitution (Special and local laws prohibited) Unless the bill sponsors have the conviction and courage to pull this bill, it is isn’t likely to be killed in committee because 3 of the sponsors serve on the (Corporations) committee who will vote on it If HB0079 passes to the Senate, recall in WY will likely end for an unknown and extended amount of time The Short Story What we have heard: The bills primary sponsor, Tyler Lindholm (R) (House District 1, Crook/Weston County) originally wanted to offer a resolution for a WY State Constitutional Amendment to create recall capability for citizens for every level of government.
