Telling Her Stories
RememberTheWomen!
I started the RememberTheWomen project in 2016, in part as a celebration of Hillary Rodham Clinton's historic run for the U.S. presidency, in part because I was still struck by how many people still ignored or discounted the phenomenal contributions of women in history. Remembering Virginia Woolf's statement that "For most of history, Anonymous was a woman," I began to research women in Philadelphia's history and nominate them for historic markers. As this project grows, we plan to add other projects: more markers, tours, publications, and this website to allow all of us to celebrate these women's lives, writings, accomplishments, and too-often overlooked contributions.
I'm always happy to hear about ideas, about people who want to volunteer to contribute, and about new ways that we can #RememberTheWomen!
