Welcome to A Woman's Voice.Com

These pages are designed to provide information and commentary for, and about women. I, along with other women involved in women's issues and women's studies, will cover issues such as: health, history, literature, art, political action, and spirituality. After reading our offerings please feel free to contact us. We aren't all knowing or seeing, so any additional information or opinions are appreciated. We will provide sources for any material we use and will try to point you in the right direction for additional sources. If there are events in your area that may be of particular interest or importance to women, contact us, and we will try to help get that information out if we have the time and space. We do reserve the right to refuse any material we feel is offensive. Please, please, be patient with us, we're new at this.

When I was attending school in the 60's and early 70's I was never told about Eliza Lucas Pinckney and her contribution to North Carolina's economy, the exquisite art of Artemisia Gentileschi , the laws enacted by Empress Theodora, or the agonizing months Alice Paul spent in prison with other suffragists. I have asked why I hadn't heard of them many times, but of course the answers seem to be elusive and complex. I would like to blame men and patriarchy completely, but that's too easy and not really fair. But the conspiracy to cover up the importance of women in the world, from the earliest of times, is obvious. Much of this information has just been rediscovered in the past 20 to 30 years, and more is being sifted through as I write this. Our job is to make sure that the information is not buried again and is presented along with Columbus, Da Vinci, and George Washington.

Women need to know that other women gave their energies, talents, and lives, to help pave the way for the future. We need to show young women that there are role models out there that had children, wore dresses, started businesses, fought in wars, lead countries, and wanted the same things hundreds of years ago that women want today, an equal chance to excel.

We will cover many women's lives, accomplishments, and issues here, and we hope you will be delighted, saddened, surprised, angered, and most of all inspired, by the information and stories you will read. For now I will leave you with a short list of women who made their mark on the world, hope you know of them, and if you don't, it's time to start finding out.
