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.

1. Molly
Murphy MacGregor shares her journey from being a high
school teacher challenged by a student asking about what the women's
movement was about to being at the center of a clearinghouse on
women's history through her work as co-founder of the Women's
National Women's History Alliance (NWHA). Molly just
returned from her visit to Pasadena for the 2020 Rose Parade and
participation in the float commemorating the Women's Suffrage
Centennial of the passage of the 19th Amendment to the US
Constitution. She was able to witness the float passing by
with the NWHA logo, as did TV viewers around the
world. Molly talks of the thousands of contributors to raise
the funds for the float decorated entirely in flowers, leaves and
bark. Molly and Elaine reminisce about being fortunate to be
students of the first Women's Study program in the 1970s at Sonoma
State University, when the lack of women's history was noted.
Even art history excluded women, which experienced a turning with
the first Women's Art Show, and it was produced in Sonoma County by
Women's Studies' students. Molly shares how folks can join in
on the year-long celebration of the right to vote for women, which
may well be the year final year in meeting the required number of
the states that have ratified the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA).

the Women's Suffrage Centennial.

History of NWHA. 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 newly renamed National Women's History
Alliance (NWHA), 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.
