10 Ideas for

Celebrating In

Communities
“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.”

Much of the work done by women,

individually as volunteers and as

members of clubs and organizations,

has occurred in and for the benefit of

local communities. Women founded

businesses, libraries, hospitals, schools

and parks. Women worked side-byside with the men who are

memorialized as heroes in our

communities but most women

pioneers have gone largely

unrecognized; most local historical

sites identify only the men who lived

there. Whether this is a result of

conscious suppression or ignorance,

the fact that few women appear in

history books or the lore of our heroic

ancestors is evident.

To increase awareness of the

important roles local women have

played throughout American history,

the President’s Commission on the

Celebration of Women in American

History is publishing this handbook to

guide communities in recognizing and

celebrating local women. Included

are suggestions for getting started and

many resources to support the

organizers as they construct their plans

for making women’s history part of the

fabric of local community life.

Ten Celebrations

and How to

Create Them

Women Win the Right to Vote: Tell the

Story of Suffrage in Local

Communities

The year 2000 will mark the 80th

anniversary of the passage of the

Women’s Suffrage Amendment to the

Constitution. Passage of this

amendment has been acknowledged as

the greatest expansion of democracy on

a single day in our history as a nation.

Yet the hard-fought battles of the

suffragists who worked for 72 years to

win the right to vote are rarely

remembered. 

From the first Women’s Rights

Convention in Seneca Falls, NY, in July,

1848 to the victory in 1920 when

President Wilson signed the 19th

Amendment to the Constitution,

women across America worked in 

ever-increasing numbers to win the

full rights of citizenship. They went

door-to-door asking for petition

signatures. They stood on ladders on

street corners and wagons parked at

crossroads giving speeches to anyone

who would listen. They published their

own newspapers, organized massive

parades and precinct-level political

campaigns and they picketed the White

House. They encountered insults,

ridicule, abuse and even found

themselves behind bars to win the

rights promised in the Declaration of

Independence. 

Women across the nation were finding

the most effective ways to organize in

their communities, and were using their

voices to make a difference. How did

women work for suffrage in your state?

How has their story been passed down

through the generations?

There is no better way to remember the

value of our rights as citizens than to

honor the pioneers who made

women’s rights possible. Celebrate

the millennial year by

commemorating the 80th

anniversary of women’s

suffrage. 

How to get started telling the

story of suffrage as part of women’s

history in local communities:

• Contact The National Women’s

History Project (707) 838-6000 or

www.nwhp.org to request their

guidelines for developing

community celebrations of women’s

history. The National Women’s

History Project has succeeded in

raising the national awareness of the

importance of women’s history by

designating March as National

Women’s History Month. 

• Identify women’s groups in your

community that may already know

the local suffrage history story. Call

your local chapter of the League of

Women Voters or contact your state

women’s commission. These groups

may help identify leaders

knowledgeable about suffrage who

could serve as resources for

developing your community

celebration. 

• Community groups may choose to

honor the leaders who organized the

suffrage campaigns and state

legislators whose votes made

women’s votes the law of the

land.

• Organize a conference

to detail how suffrage

introduced change and led the

way for sweeping lifestyle changes

for women and their families.

• Call the public relations office of

your local college or university to

determine whether there is a

Women’s History Department. Even

if there is not a Women’s History

Department, there may be a faculty

expert in the field. If so, consider

scheduling that person as a lecturer

for women’s groups. 

• Develop a suggested reading list of

women’s history books that parents

can read with their children.

Reading lists could be researched

and developed by various age

groups, with the help of local

teachers. You can ask your local

libraries to help compile lists. 

• Suggest that local libraries organize

story-telling sessions for children

inviting local leaders to share stories

of the brave women and men who

achieved the suffrage victory. You

can begin by calling your main

library and asking how to contact

the local “Friends of the Library”

group. 

• Consult with your local school

board to determine whether the

school system offers a women’s

history program that includes

suffrage. Some schools have

volunteers who come to class in

historical dress to dramatize and

discuss historic figures. Develop a

list of teachers in your area who use

this teaching tool and solicit their
2

2 PRESIDENT’S COMMISSION ON THE CELEBRATION OFWOMEN IN AMERICAN HISTORY

advice and help in expanding the

program.

• Sponsor an essay contest for

schoolchildren about women’s

history, and submit the essays to

your local newspaper, or publish

them in your club newsletters.

• Begin a Women’s History Book

Club. People could read about

different topic areas: local women’s

history, women and politics, women

and medicine, women in wartime,

women and business, women and

civil rights, women and education,

women and music, women and

literature, etc. 

• Locate skilled library research

volunteers to review historical

microfilm of local newspapers to

learn more about suffrage activities

in your community. Publish their

findings.

• Determine whether local suffragists

passed down through their families a

verbal history of their lives, and seek

out elders who may remember those

stories. Interview these “verbal

historians” and create a video

document of what was it like for

them. Be sure to ask them how

people initially responded to the

notion of the rights we now take for

granted.

• Enlist the help of local publicists

who can promote women’s history

by contacting local media to spur

interest in coverage of “verbal

historians” as a local interest story

for the 80th anniversary.

• Ask city officials to place an historical

marker to honor the site where a

suffrage meeting was held. To

educate future generations, markers

could include a description of the

days before women won the vote.

Find the “Hidden Women:” Develop

Access and Archives

The President’s Commission on the

Celebration of Women in American

History heard from many speakers

during their yearlong series of

hearings held across the

country. The Commission

heard from a diverse

group of people—

especially those with

professional expertise as

librarians, preservationists and

archivists—about the need to allocate

serious resources to the identification

and preservation of original material.

Groundbreaking work is underway in

the field of women’s history. It is

important to realize that increased

scholarship requires greater access to

original materials, and more attention

to finding and cataloguing material

related to women. 

Diaries, letters and other records enable

scholars to study and document the

history of women’s lives, yet much of

this material sits unmarked and

unnoticed. Such records could be the

source of valuable information that

could make history come alive. A good

example of how these collections

contribute to our communities comes

from the General Federation of

Women’s Clubs (GFWC). In 1935, the

Highmore Woman’s Club in South

Dakota established a Pioneer

Daughters Department to honor the

memory and spirit of women who

pioneered in their states. The

project continued to grow

over the years but

remained “hidden” until

1987 when a doctoral

candidate discovered it in the

course of her research and called it

“possibly the largest untapped

collection of pioneer women’s history

in the nation.” In 1998, when GFWC

of South Dakota relinquished the

unique collection to the South Dakota

Historical Society, it contained more

than 6,000 women’s stories. Portions

are now incorporated in “South

Dakota: A Journey Through Time,” a

textbook prepared for adult readers.

From the papers of famous women like

Eleanor Roosevelt to the writings of Ida

B. Wells, each collection provides new

insight into the lives of Americans and

the history that shapes our future.

How to get started developing access

and archives: 

• Enhance scholarship by helping

scholars and the general public gain

access to original materials.

Volunteer at your local library or

historical society and focus attention

on finding and cataloguing material

related to women’s history. 

• Increased financial support could

thrust this material into public view.

Invite a local corporation,

foundation, or non-profit

organization — particularly those

focused upon women’s concerns—

to help underwrite the cost of

researching and publishing women’s

papers.

• Bring information out of the attic and

into academia. Place an ad in your

local newspaper requesting old
family diaries, letters and other

records that could promote the study

and documentation of women’s lives

in your community. 

• Call the public relations or women’s

history departments of a nearby

university to inquire how academic

discoveries about women’s history

are made accessible to the public.

Local women’s organizations or

history societies could join together

with universities to host symposia,

networking lunchtime lectures, and

other events to showcase the

research. 

• Begin a scholarship fund to

encourage and sponsor a student at

your local college or university to

write a women’s history thesis.

Scholarships encourage students to

pursue intensive study on a topic

that interests them. Women’s studies

programs would benefit from

community support.

• Take an active role in ensuring your

Alma Mater is cataloging women’s

history documents—from personal

diaries and oral histories to

significant legislation. Encourage

your alumni group to start a fundraising campaign or make donations

toward the establishment of a

scholarship fund for a student who

could research and catalogue

women’s history documents. 

• The American Historical

Association’s Web site

www.theaha.org contains

information about the field of

women’s history and features a

directory of history departments with

expertise in women’s history.

• The STORIES Center’s Cameo Life

Stories Program (formerly called

Everywoman’s Story Project) focuses

on collecting and sharing the

personal stories of women’s history

www.thestoriescenter.org. This

program uses a questionnaire of

about 90 inquiries to help people

document women’s history. More

than a quarter of a million copies

have been distributed to individuals,

including cultural anthropologists

and doctoral candidates. The

stories of living women and

those stories recorded

posthumously are

stored in Arizona State

University’s Fletcher Library.

Eventually, these documents

will be moved to the National

Museum of Women’s History to

serve as an archive of women’s

personal histories. 

• The STORIES Center also has a

program for young people called

FOURWORDS, which focuses on

getting young girls to see themselves

as the authors of their own lives.

FOURWORDS demonstrates the

important contributions of women’s

personal histories to our nation’s

heritage. Contact:

The state of Georgia has launched an

exciting new women’s history

initiative to integrate women’s

history into existing programs

that record, document,

interpret and preserve

historic places. The initiative

will identify and document

historic places associated with

women, and reinterpret historic sites to

reflect an understanding of the

contributions women made at the site.

Georgia’s program includes the

production of publications, heritage

education programs and guidebooks to

increase public awareness. 

Georgia’s program began with a

regional conference on women’s

history and historic preservation, and is

funded by the Georgia legislature. A

document establishing the significance

of women-related historic resources is

also being produced. The initiative will

document at least five National Register

nominations for women-related historic

sites. 

How to get started establishing

statewide women’s history initiatives: 

• The Georgia legislature has

established itself as a role model for

other states in the field of women’s

history. Its precedent-setting initiative

to add five women-related historic

sites to the state register in the year

2000, if followed by every state,

could add 250 sites nationally in the

millennial year. For further

information about the Georgia

initiative, please contact:

could lobby these women to

sponsor legislation that would

provide funding for statewide

women’s historic sites, similar to the

Georgia initiatives. You could also

invite these elected officials to tell

their stories of how they won their

offices to local youth groups.

• The National Endowment for the

Humanities is the federal agency that

is “expanding America’s

understanding of who we were, who

we are, and who we will be.” The

Endowment’s website www.neh.gov

contains a Directory of State

Humanities Councils. The directory,

provides contact information for the

humanities councils in each state. 

Honor the Work of Women’s

Organizations: Build an Honor Roll

of Local Volunteers

An accurate portrayal of women’s

history will include recognition of the

important role played by women

working together iin volunteer groups.

From the earliest days of the female

anti-slavery societies to Chicago’s Hull

House and today’s service

organizations, American women have

organized joint efforts to address

society’s greatest challenges. Women’s

organizations were instrumental in

establishing public hospitals and public

parks. Women initiated libraries in new

towns and established relief

organizations for families in distress.

From campaigns to win the right to vote

to creating public awareness of child

abuse and domestic violence, women

have always been at the forefront of

societal advances. Individual women

have contributed thousands of

volunteer hours to building our

communities. Contemporary service

organizations continue that proud

tradition. 

How to get started building an

honor roll of local

volunteers: 

• Community

organizations should join

together to identify groups that

made significant contributions to

the lives of their citizens. Examine

the histories of local volunteer

organizations and the files of local

newspapers to locate women who

have labored behind the scenes, out

of public view. Using the identified

women, develop a community

honor roll to memorialize both the

groups and their individual leaders.

A plaque citing the

accomplishments of these women

could then be displayed in

community buildings such as city

hall, the public library or a park. 

• Honor women in your community

who are the driving force behind

institutions or programs by

dedicating a sculpture of an

historical woman in their names.

• Boston women have designed a

networking web site connecting

Boston area women’s organizations.

More than 35 local organizations have

joined together to share the large

volumes of information contained in

their individual archives. Their web

site features a detailed calendar

about Boston-area events

concerning women.

Boston’s web site promises to

help organizations share

information about women’s history,

and also allows for rapid and effective

coalition building among

organizations. Web site design offers

an opportunity to enlist the help and

imagination of youth in the

community. You can visit the Boston

Women’s Web at

http://www.bostonwomen.com/. 

Create Community 

Women’s History Trails: 

Develop a Map of Local 

Women’s History Sites

Creating history trails can bring history

to life in local communities. Trails may

trace the path of women’s firsts: the first

school to admit women, the first

woman doctor or newspaper publisher

or engineer, the first woman elected to

office. Local communities may have

been the site of a dramatic suffrage

campaign, a clean milk campaign or a

labor strike led by women workers.

Telling the stories through a women’s

history trail is an effective reminder of

the courage shown by women

pioneers. 

How to get started developing a map

of local women’s history sites: 

• Bring students to work on trail

projects. The community will

benefit from enthusiastic young

researchers, who, in turn, will gain

valuable experience. A history trail
7

6

A HOW-TO COMMUNITY HANDBOOK 5

designed with the help of young

people is likely to include

information that other young people

will find interesting. 

• Start at the most basic level—your

neighborhood school. Elementary

as well as high school teachers

could incorporate age-appropriate

research and work on women’s

history into their lessons. 

• The National Park Service has

developed several women’s history

trails that could serve as models for

developing local maps. As an

example, the website, “Places

Where Women Made History”

www.cr.nps.gov/nr/travel/pwwmh,

commemorates the 150th

anniversary of the first Women’s

Rights Convention in Seneca Falls,

NY. This National Register of

Historic Places focuses on 74

historic places in New York and

Massachusetts significant to

women’s history and the

accomplishments of American

women who made outstanding

contributions to education,

government, medicine, the arts,

commerce, women’s suffrage and

the early civil rights movement.

• Your map may include women who

used their writing skills to draw

attention to the historical

contributions of women. For

example, visit the website

http://willacather.org/ to discover

Pulitzer Prize winner Willa Cather,

who wrote, “The history of every

country begins in the heart of a man

or a woman.”

Create a City Space to Honor Women:

Build a Women’s History Park

Building women’s parks is a creative

and productive way to commemorate

the lives of local historical figures and

honor the women who live in the

community today. In Yellow Springs,

Ohio, the Women’s Park was

financed through the sale of tiles

bearing the names of local

women. These tiles,

honoring women and their

contributions to the

community, their service

organizations or their families, are

incorporated into the park’s design. The

response to the Yellow Springs

Women’s Park has been so positive that

park organizers are now planning to

produce a book about the women

featured on the tiles. 

Another notable example of women’s

parks is the Hillary Rodham Clinton

Women’s Park in Chicago, now under

construction. This four-acre green space

was dedicated in October 1997, in

honor of the First Lady’s 50th birthday. A

15-member community advisory

council manages it. 

For more information about the Hillary

Rodham Clinton Women’s Park and

Gardens of Chicago, contact Matt

Nielson, phone (312) 744-1373; fax

(312) 744-9629 or e-mail:

dcaniels@mcs.net. A website is

available at www.cichi.il.us.

Communities should consider

establishing women’s parks. Both

the informal organizations of the

Yellow Springs Women’s Park

and the more formally

structured Hillary Rodham

Clinton Women’s Park and

Gardens of Chicago bring elected

officials and broad cross-sections of

residents together to honor some of

their best-loved and most respected

citizens. 

How to get started building a women’s

history park:

• Contact Imogen Trolander, organizer

and developer of the Yellow Springs

Women’s Park in Yellow Springs,

Ohio.

Yellow Springs, OH 45387

(937) 767-4551

• Work with your mayor and local

officials to designate a space in your

community for the park. Even a

small plot can serve a mighty

purpose. 

• Organize a group of citizens who

will assume responsibility for the

park’s maintenance after it is

installed. Perpetual care is essential

but not always provided by local

governments with limited budgets.

Build a Cooperative Community

Project: Design and Place Historic

Markers

Designing and placing historic markers

can elevate the visibility of women’s

lives and their achievements. Every

step of the process calls for public
8

6 PRESIDENT’S COMMISSION ON THE CELEBRATION OFWOMEN IN AMERICAN HISTORY

participation. This includes research,

marker design, decisions on marker

placement, and, finally, arrangements

for unveiling ceremonies.

How to get started designing and

placing historic markers: 

• Local governments can work with

community organizations to sponsor

historic marker projects. School

children can learn about their

communities by working with

officials and becoming involved in

every aspect of the work. By

designing markers and researching

suggested sites, children and their

leaders can take history beyond the

textbook to the places where

historically important women lived

and worked.

• Local historical societies, libraries,

religious organizations and county

and municipal clerks may be

especially rich sources of

information about local historical

events and sites. 

• Adding markers to existing sites is an

important step toward making all

our historical celebrations more

inclusive by reminding us that

women lived and performed

important work there, too.

• A division of the National Archives,

under the direction of John Byrne,

has constructed a list of registered

historic sites where women may

have made significant contributions.

These sites are listed in the Appendix

as possible starting points for

communities developing markers

and trails.

Encourage Young People to Discover

Women’s History: Include Youth in a

Women’s History Project

Speakers frequently reminded the

Commission of the importance of

making women’s history accessible to

young women and men. College

students and professors told us there is

great interest in women’s history at

the college level, but students

too often arrive at college

with little or no awareness

of that history. This lack of

awareness may be mitigated

by initiating several of the projects

listed in this handbook. The resulting

new focus on women’s history will

promote interest among students

especially if young people are included

in the planning process for the projects.

Some of the most innovative women’s

history projects now underway already

include young people as participants.

This inclusion is especially important in

light of the increased attention to family

tourism. If young people are to

become aware of the contributions of

women to our history, then women’s

history sites must be included in the

family’s destinations. The growth of

women’s history sites on the Internet is

also promising, since technology is

becoming the medium of choice for

young people. 

How to get started including youth in

a women’s history project: 

• Millennial planners should

incorporate at least one women’s

history project that includes young

people as planners, researchers,

narrators and/or audience. Projects

described elsewhere in this

report, such as developing

local history trails, historic

markers or finding forgotten

women of historical

significance in the archives are

excellent vehicles for involving

elementary and secondary school

students. 

• Many children spend their afterschool hours in community centers

run by non-profit groups. Research

the community centers that service

children in your neighborhood.

Develop a storytelling program

about historical women, and deliver

it regularly to engage children in

learning about women’s history.

• Contact the principal of your

neighborhood school or your

community school board. Tell your

children’s teachers about your desire

to ensure that their history education

includes women. Volunteer to tell

stories of historical women in your

schools as a way of introducing

women’s history into the local

curriculum. 

• Take a “tour” of the National

Museum of Women’s History on the

Internet at www.nmwh.org. The

National Museum of Women’s

History in Washington, DC is a

nonpartisan, nonprofit educational

institution. The museum is

dedicated to preserving, displaying,

interpreting, and celebrating the

historic contributions and rich,

diverse experiences of women, and

restoring this heritage to the cultural

mainstream. Also take a tour of the

National Women’s Hall of Fame on

the Internet at

http://www.greatwomen.org/. You

will find a rich selection of

biographies of great women at this
9

A HOW-TO COMMUNITY HANDBOOK 7

site, and you will have the

opportunity to pay tribute to an

important woman in your life.

• Ask local scouting troop leaders to

promote work on women’s history.

Many scouting organizations have

award badges to encourage troop

members in such pursuits. 

• The American Legion sponsors a

Girls State program in all 50 states

for high school juniors selected due

to their interest in public service. By

working with your local American

Legion sponsors, you could develop

a program to hold interactive

discussions with groups of these

young women about the historical

women of interest to them.

Generating enthusiasm among these

young leaders can have significant

impact among their peers. 

• Many high schools have student

organizations that are required to

participate in community service

projects. Work with a local teacher

to develop a program where these

students can celebrate Women’s

History Month in their schools as

part of their community service

requirement.

• Develop an intergenerational

program in which high school

students meet with your club to

learn and ask questions about

history. These students could then

visit elementary and middle schools

to share the stories about local

“heroines” with the younger

students.

• Encourage young people to discover

women’s history by arranging for

young women to spend time with

the women who have taken different

life paths in their communities. The

best way to get women interested in

women’s history is to build their

confidence about what they can do

with their own lives, and then feed

them the stories of the role models

they will turn to for inspiration when

the going gets tough.

Support Local Women’s History

Institutions: Create or Host

Exhibits About Women

Women’s history museums are

emerging around the country.

Among them are the Women of the

West Museum in Boulder, CO, the

Women’s History Museum: Institute for

the Future in Dallas, TX, the National

Women’s History Museum in

Washington, D.C., the National

Women’s Party Sewell-Belmont House

in Washington, DC, the National

Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame in

Fort Worth, TX., and the National

Women’s Hall of Fame in Seneca Falls,

NY. While every community may not

have the resources to establish a

museum dedicated to women’s history,

communities can devote some public

space to exhibits honoring local

women who contributed time and

energy to the life of the community. 

How to get started creating or hosting

exhibits about women: 

• In the report to President Clinton, the

Commission recommended a

national traveling exhibit about

women in American history that

would include local women from

each of the communities that

hosted the exhibit. This

exhibit may become the

genesis of a permanent

collection of stories about

local women. Town halls, county

courts and local libraries are

excellent venues for these exhibits,

where the installation itself becomes

a reason to celebrate women in

American history. Communities that

would like to host the traveling

exhibit may register their interest on

the Commission’s homepage:

www.gsa.gov/staff/pa/whc.htm.

• Talk to your local museum about

adding a women’s history exhibit.

Offer to assist the museum with the

research and design of this exhibit. 

• The American Association of

Museums (www.aam-us.org) can

provide information about the

association, issues of concern to

10Women’s History is About Every

Woman: Hold an All-Inclusive 

“Her-itage” Celebration

At every hearing and through the

Commission’s correspondence, there

was a strong focus on the diversity of

our nation’s citizens and the

importance of respecting that diversity

in all the projects recommended by the

Commission. The Commission wants

to establish that the only accurate

history is that which includes the lives

and accomplishments of women. The

Commission also believes that the only 

accurate representation of women’s

history is that which encompasses the

lives of all women: from Native

Americans to women of color, from

Asian Americans to European

Americans, from every country of origin

and every economic circumstance.

How to get started holding an allinclusive “her-itage” celebration: 

• Ethnic bazaars, fairs and parades

held across the country offer an

opportunity to tell the story of

women in many different

communities, but few are

multicultural or focus on the

accomplishments of women outside

the kitchen or the craft room. You

may want to plan a “her-itage”

millennial celebration that represents

the diversity within the local

community and focuses on the

stories of the “she-roes” who brought

their children to build a new nation. 

• Capture the memories of first-,

second-, and third-generation

Americans who can document their

contributions and build a rich

tapestry of memories about the

women who pioneered the

community. 

• Religious and service organizations

can enlist the seniors among their

members to tell the stories of their

she-roes, of how their foremothers

came to this country and what their

own lives were like as children. 

• The American Historical Association

(www.theaha.org ) can suggest

academic historians from major

research institutions as speakers for

women’s history events. Contact:
