Research On Women In History Reveals Many Prominent Women BIRTHS Women's History Week, Mar. 6-13, was first celebrated in California in 1978. The observance quickly spread ^ through organizations around the country and in 1982 was recognized by a joint resolution of the U.S. Congress. Many colleges and women's groups ' in the area are featuring special .events during the week to bring to ~ public attention the fact that women have a rich and varied history. Too often school history books concentrate , on presidents and wars giving the - jmpression that women had little part in America's past. , The McHenry Business and Professional Women's club has assembled a collection of pictures of ; "Remarkable American Women" that are now on display at the McHenry Public Library. In addition, they have taped a series of 10 one- i jninute biographies which are being ' shown on cable TV at random all !during the scheduled week. The "Remarkable American •Women" featured include: • Dorothea Dix, a crusader against inhumane treatment of the mentally ' ill who, starting in 1841, presented evidence to state legislatures ' concerning the maltreatment of the • insane who were at that time housed < in prisons. During the next 10 years, • through her efforts, 110 asylums and hospitals were built and public s awareness was increased. Eleanor Roosevelt, called "First ** Lady of the World", overcame a adulthood to president, author, speaker, and this country's representative to the United Nations. Striving always for world peace, she opposed racial prejudice, child labor, discrimination against women and all forms of oppression. Mildred "Babe" Didrickson Zaharias, the athletic phenomenon of all time, was a superstar in golf and basketball; won national medals in swimming and ice skating; established U.S. track and field records; and won two gold and one silver medal at the 1932 Olympics. She once scored 106 points in a single basketball game, threw three strikes past Joe DiMaggio in an exhibition baseball game; and founded the Women's Pro Golf Association. Mary Cassatt was the only American in the great French Impressionist movement of the late 1800's. A contemporary of Degas and Renior, her paintings of mothers and their children hang in all the finest museums of the world. She was America's foremost artist of the home by his six-year-old nineteenth century. ., K 'tW<other jlfcich JSusan B. Anthony was dubbed the Maternal grandparents "Napoleon of the Women s Rights Movement". She devoted her life to making men and women equal before the law.
