Women’s History on HistoryNet

By Gerald D. Swick on March 20th, 2010

The National Women’s History Project is a wonderful idea. The varied roles women have played in the home, on the battlefield, in the worlds of business, medicine, law, politics and much more were largely hidden until fairly recent times. Although significantly more information about women’s history is readily available today than it was just a few decades ago, there is still much more to learn, explore and discuss, and this site should go a long way to help that along.

I’d like to let you know that HistoryNet Website recently added a special section on Women’s History. HistoryNet is part of the Weider History Group, the largest history-oriented magazine publisher in the world, and this special section will help visitors more easily find many articles that originally appeared in magazines such as American History, Wild West, Military History, Vietnam, etc. The site also invites visitors to add to a list of recommended books and other reference resources on women’s history and to name some personal favorites among historical women. These comments can help determine future original content.

The Women’s History section can be found at http://www.historynet.com/topics/womens-history

The National Women’s History Project is one of HistoryNet‘s recommended resources, by the way. HistoryNet thank its organizers for allowing us to share this information with its visitors.

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,
