Before Deciding

When our representatives are making important decisions that impact all of our lives I believe it is important to ask one basic question before making
those decisions,
Is this good for
the children?

Just imagine what our world would be like if that question was asked prior to making decisions about going to war, the environment, education or healthcare.

1Commentary by Elaine B. Holtz:  Happy Women’s History Month and to begin the celebration I have a special guest joining me on the phone, Molly Murphy MacGregor, one of the co-founders of the National Women’s Alliance. We will be talking about Women’s History Alliance which began as the Women’s History Project and the origin and changes she has seen and concerns around women’s equality and choice for women in 2022 and moving forward. This year’s theme is, “Women Who Advocate for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion.”

In 1980, the National Women’s History Project (NWHP) was founded in Santa Rosa, California by Molly Murphy MacGregor, Mary Ruthsdotter, Maria Cuevas, Paula Hammett and Bette Morgan to broadcast women’s historical achievements.

The NWHP started by leading a coalition that successfully lobbied Congress to designate March as National Women’s History Month, now celebrated across the land.

Today, the NWHP Now the National Women’s History Alliance is known nationally as the only clearinghouse providing information and training in multicultural women’s history for educators, community organizations, and parents-for anyone wanting to expand their understanding of women contributions to U. S. history.

2. Our Guest, Molly Murphy MacGregor, shares how her mindset changed from being a girl looking for prince charming to becoming a feminist and advocate for women's history and rights. Molly describes the path to the Carter White House in 1979 in the declaration of at first the National Women's History Week to its 1987 establishment as National Women's History Month every March. Molly talks about this year’s theme: “Women Who Advocate for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion.” Some cultural traditions hold men to be the only gender worthy of leadership, Thousands of years of this patriarchy makes for such entrenched views. Women's voices need to be heard, but we must agree to respect each other's perceptions. By asking questions and being willing to listen, a discussion can happen, such that the woman's point of view can at least enter the discussion. Molly envisions a Women's Festival in the summer, rather than a march, to invite such discussions to take place in a festive rather than protesting environment. 

-  report by Ken Norton, Co-Producer, Women's Spaces

Herstory Events:

March 1, 1978 – Women’s History Week is first observed in Sonoma County, California.

March 1, 1987 – Congress passes a resolution designating March as Women’s History Month.

March 3, 1913 – Women’s Suffrage Parade in Washington, DC, where over eight thousand women gathered to demand a constitutional amendment guaranteeing the right to vote.

March 4, 1933 - Frances Perkins was appointed U.S. President FDR's Secretary of Labor, making her the 1st woman appointed to a Cabinet position. She became the first woman in history to enter the U.S.Presidential line of succession.

March 8 – International Women’s Day, whose origins trace back to protests in the U.S. and Europe to honor and fight for the political rights for working women.

Herstory Birthdays:

March 4, 1917 – Jeannette Rankin (R-MT) took her seat as the first female member of Congress.

March 4, 1948 (2005) – Jean O’Leary, lesbian and gay rights activist, founder of Lesbian Feminist Liberation, one of the first lesbian activist groups in the women’s movement, was an early member and co-director of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, co-founded National Coming Out Day.

National Coming Out Day (NCOD) is an annual LGBT awareness day observed on October 11 to support anyone "coming out of the closet".[1] First celebrated in the United States in 1988, the initial idea was grounded in the feminist and gay liberation spirit of the personal being political, and the emphasis on the most basic form of activism being coming out to family, friends, and colleagues, and living life as an openly lesbian or gay person.[2] The founders believed that homophobia thrives in an atmosphere of silence and ignorance and that once people know that they have loved ones who are lesbian or gay, they are far less likely to maintain homophobic or oppressive views.[3]
