Walter- I don't want to rain on your parade, but I take umbrage at "Women's History Month". I think that the appellation and the event only serves to illustrate that women still have a second class status.

Can you imagine something being called, "Men's History Month?"

Certainly - but cui bono?

We don't have history months here, but certainly 'history' reminders on various objects, dates and persons.

Thus, I understand a 'history month' is just focussing the interest on something special.

From the Australian History Month website:
Quote:
History, in the context of Women's History Month (WHM) is defined very broadly to encompass not only political and economic history but also the broader cultural and social elements. Because history is being made now, our definition embraces the present.

Phoenix--

I've become accustomed to the plethora of Special Days and Dedicated Weeks and Themed Months.....

As for A March through 30 Days of Woman's History, you and I have lived women's history. We embody Women's History. Still, Women's History (and thousands of other focused glimpses of the past) are blank pages to men and women who have never been exposed to the information.

Personally, I'd rather eliminate National Bungee Jumping Day--or eliminate Bungees for sections of the population, but let them jump anyway.

Maybe we ought to create a thread called International A2K Day...

There's Noddy and Phoenix and Letty, of course.
And Walter will bring up the rear on his horse. Smile
