1 4 A Concurrent Resolution designating March 1996 as
1 5 Iowa Women's History Month.
1 6 WHEREAS, Iowa is celebrating its sesquicentennial,
1 7 and Iowa women of every race, class, and ethnic
1 8 background have made historic contributions to the
1 9 growth and strength of our state and nation in
1 10 countless recorded and unrecorded ways; and
1 11 WHEREAS, Iowa women have played and continue to
1 12 play a critical economic, cultural, and social role by
1 13 constituting a significant portion of the labor force,
1 14 working both inside and outside the home; and
1 15 WHEREAS, Iowa women were particularly important in
1 16 the establishment of early charitable, philanthropic,
1 17 and cultural institutions in Iowa and the nation; and
1 18 WHEREAS, Iowa women were leaders in the
1 19 abolitionist movement, the emancipation movement, the
1 20 industrial labor movement, the women's suffrage
1 21 movement, the civil rights movement, and the peace
1 22 movement, creating a more fair and just society for
1 23 all; and
1 24 WHEREAS, despite these many contributions and the
1 25 contributions of women throughout the world, the role
1 26 of women is consistently overlooked and undervalued in
1 27 literature, teaching, and the study of history; NOW
1 28 THEREFORE,
1 29 BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, THE
1 30 SENATE CONCURRING, That the General Assembly designate
