Writing Women Back into History
2010 marked the 100th anniversary of when most Washington women permanently achieved the right to vote. The Washington Women’s History Consortium leads the commemoration and invites people all over Washington to learn about this important history.
During National Women's History Month, visit 1000memories to recognize the women who made a difference in your life. 1000memories has partnered with the National Women's History Project and the Internet Archive to remember the contributions of women in history - those whose lives shaped and were shaped by history. The website offers a space to collect and tell the stories of women throughout history, famous or not.
Washington Women's History Consortium - Images and Washington Women's History Consortium - Oral Histories contain primary source materials that were digitized as part of CPNWS's commitment to the Washington Women's History Consortium project (funded by the Washington State Legislature). Drawn from a variety of different archival collections at the Center for Pacific Northwest Studies, these digital resources include photographs, manuscripts and oral history interviews documenting the history and achievements of women in Washington State.
