In the spirit of equity, Women's History Month was declared by Congress
in 1987. This newly established tradition continues to grow each year. I
have found some web sites that make it easier to learn more about Women
from the past and present.

origins of Women's History Month and a multitude of resources that can be

Distinguished Women of Past and Present
http://www.netsrq.com/~dbois/
"This site has biographies of women who contributed to our culture in
many different ways. There are writers, educators, scientists, heads
of state, politicians, civil rights crusaders, artists, entertainers,
and others. Some were alive hundreds of years ago and some are living
today. We've heard of some of them, while many more have been ignored by
history book writers. I'd like to acknowledge as many as I can."
National First Ladies of the United States
http://www.firstladies.org/Flbib2.htm
The mission of the National First Ladies' Library is to create a
central location where people can explore the lives of our nation's
First Ladies and their contributions to our nation's history. The
library will be both a preliminary research facility and an
educational center that includes three major components: the National
First Ladies' Library on-line bibliographic database, the library in the
historically documented Saxton McKinley home and an educational center
adjacent to the Saxton McKinley home.
Internet Women's History Sourcebook

This sourcebook attempts to present online documents and secondary
discussions which reflect the various ways of looking at the history
of women within broadly defined historical periods and areas.
Biographies of Women Mathematicians
http://www.scottlan.edu/lriddle/women/women.htm
These pages for biographies of women in mathematics are part of an
on-going project by students in mathematics classes at Agnes Scott
College, in Atlanta, Georgia, to illustrate the numerous achievements
of women in the field of mathematics. There are biographical essays or
comments on most of the women mathematicians and some photos (which
look best at more than 256 colors). Our goal is for this list to
continue to expand, and for more biographies to be completed.

Encyclopedia of Women's History
http://www.teleport.com/~megaines/women.html
Encyclopedia of Women's History is written by and for the K12
Community. This project began as a classroom assignment to write
research papers on figure's in Women's History in March of 1995.
Believing in the value of the World Wide Web for elementary students,
we decided to distribute the assignment over the Internet to other K12
students. This was the birth of our Web encyclopedia or "K12opedia"
on Women's History. We hope to collectively provide a celebration of
Women's History for K12 students, as well as to provide a starting
point for further research. The encyclopedia currently contains entries
from students in grades 1 through 12, and for some students, English is
a second language. Entries have NOT been edited for grammar or content.
If you have questions or comments on a particular entry, you are invited
to contact the author.
