  1  6    WHEREAS, Iowa women of every race, class, and
  1  7 ethnic background have made historic contributions to
  1  8 the growth and strength of our state and nation in
  1  9 countless recorded and unrecorded ways; and
  1 10    WHEREAS, Iowa women have played and continue to
  1 11 play a critical economic, cultural, and social role by
  1 12 constituting a significant portion of the labor force,
  1 13 working both inside and outside the home; and
  1 14    WHEREAS, Iowa women were particularly important in
  1 15 the establishment of early charitable, philanthropic,
  1 16 and cultural institutions in our state and the nation;
  1 17 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

  2  5 request that the Governor issue a proclamation calling
  2  6 upon the people of Iowa to observe this month with
  2  7 appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.
