Blog News!

Dear readers,

Seasons greetings! Our apologies for the lack of posts for the past 2 months; autumn has been incredibly busy for us.

A few blog updates: Along with our "Picture This" photo of the month piece, we will also spotlight a famous woman in history each month and post fun facts, links, and more pertaining to the historical woman throughout the month, starting in January.

And although we have discontinued our regular posting of famous birthdays and events in women's history (since our blog has been running for about a year now and hey, who wants to keep repeating themself?), we'll continue to post items about women's rights activism, women's history resources, women in politics, USWHP news, etcetera.

Best wishes,
The United States Women's History Project

Write Across the World Magazine

One project we did this year was an online collaboration with girls in Pakistan. The result of this email exchange was a magazine, written and edited by girls in the U.S. and Pakistan. Check it out!

Blog news!

Dear readers,

Our blog has been running for almost a year now! We don't want to repeat ourselves, so we will generally not be posting about past birthdays and events in women's history from here on. (Check out the websites www.factmonster.com/birthday and http://www.nwhp.org/news/calendar.php for daily historical events and birthdays!)

We will continue to post about current events relating to women's history and equal rights advocacy and awareness with links and articles, so stay tuned!

Thanks,
The United States Women's History Project

Update

We apologize on the lack of posts lately! Summer activities have got us quite busy, and we've also been busy working on our website. The website now has 8 downloadable units of women's history curriculum; an event reports page, where we'll post summaries and reviews of women's history-related events that WHP members attend; information on the Equal Right's Ammendment, plus a form letter you can send to your officials; more biographies; and a page about holidays and celebrations like Women's History Month and Equal Pay Day! Check out the additions at www.freewebs.com/uswhp.
