If we don’t promote women’s history, who will? |
Here are a few suggestions for getting ready for celebrating National Women's History Month in your community:
Ask your children’s teacher what is planned for National Women’s History Month.
Suggest that your local newspaper, radio and TV programs honor women in your community who are pioneens and whose lives need to be part of the historic record.
Email a copy of our 2010 Press Kit, which you'll find in the Women's History Month section on our website, to your local newspapers, radio stations, your organization's newsletter editor, commentators on talk radio, and TV programs like Oprah, Ellen, Tyra, Rachel Ray or any of the morning show programs. Give them as much information as possible and help them spread the word.
Order the 2010 30th Anniversary electronic logo or stickers and include it on all your correspondence, planning, and program material.
Plan a reception, luncheon, or event that honors women in your community who are pioneering roles models whose lives need to be part of the historic record.
Consider using the new Writing Women Back into History History Revisited Program for your event.
Invite a woman from history to be at your celebration program. See the NWHP listings of Women's History Performers. There may be a performer in your community that you can plan a special program with or one of the listed State or National Performers can travel across the country to be at your event.
Invite a special speaker. See the NWHP listings of Authors and Presenters or Our Distinguished Speakers Bureau these presenters can make history come alive with their intellect and enthusiastic presentation about a specific area of women’s History.
Order a copy of the any of the speeches available for March 2010 from our webstore to read at your event. (To find the speeches, visit our webstore and search for SPEECH in the upper right corner).
