Developed at Bryn Mawr College, the site will serve scholars in the US and across the world by providing free, open access to materials related to the history of women’s education. The site is a portal to a wide range of digitized items selected from our collections, as well as materials that we are featuring through collaboration with archives at other schools. In addition to primary sources, the site features thematic exhibits on notable figures and themes from the college’s history, and lesson plans created by Temple University students as part of the Cultural Collaboration Fieldwork Initiative. As the site grows, we will build its capacity as a guide to other related resources around the web for interested scholars and students.

We are also announcing a Call for Papers for ‘Women’s History in the Digital World’, to be held at Bryn Mawr College, March 22 and 23, 2013. We are honored to have as our keynote Professor Laura Mandell, Director of the Initiative for Digital Humanities, Media, and Culture and a Professor in the Department of English at Texas A&M. The conference will bring together experienced and new scholars from across the globe who are working on women’s history projects with a digital component, exploring the complexities of creating, managing, researching and teaching with digital resources. Please email abstracts (200 words max) and a bio (100 words max) to greenfieldhwe@brynmawr.edu by December 14th, 2012.

We welcome all comments and suggestions and encourage other institutions to consider partnering with us on themes of common interest. For all feedback and inquiries please contact the Director, Jennifer Redmond, at jredmond@brynmawr.edu, and follow us on Twitter @GreenfieldHWE for further updates.

Letter from the Executive Director

Dear Friends –

Women Inspiring Innovation through Imagination, the theme for 2013 Women's History Month , recognizes American women's outstanding contributions to the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). We are proud to honor eighteen women whose pioneering work includes scientific breakthroughs, life-saving discoveries, invention of new technologies, creation of organizations, and the promotion of women and girls in STEM. For full description, visit our website www.nwhp.org.

A variety of information related to National Women’s History Month 2013 is available to download on our homepage www.nwhp.org where you can preview or order a copy of the 2013 Women’s History Gazette. Throughout the Gazette you will find information about women in the STEM fields. Also highlighted are many organizations and programs working to promote women's and girls’ interest and participation in STEM.

For National Women’s History Month 2013 as well as throughout the year, we invite you to explore the many women who have made extraordinary contributions to the STEM fields. We also encourage you to consider the ways in which you can promote women and girls in STEM.

Thanks for your support,

Molly Murphy MacGregor
