sphere of our nation's life; and
WHEREAS,American women of every age, race, class, and ethnic background served as
early leaders in the forefront of every major progressive social change movement, not only to secure

emancipation movement, the labor union movement, the fight for education, the modern civil rights
movement, and today in the drive for health care for all; and

too often overlooked and undervalued in the body of American History.
