Documenting Herstory
“Helping us to remember our herstory” was a line in an email that I found in my inbox this morning. It was in response to a number of photos of a recent workshop that Elect More Women hosted. One of our fantastic committee members can always be counted on to have a camera in her hands. She’s the first one to gather women together for a quick shot, an action shot or a group photo to mark the moment. She is helping us tell and remember our story. Our herstory. Similarly, another one of our committee members is a historian. She spends hours in the library pouring over historical records of the women who have come before us. She tells us their stories. She is teaching us herstory and making sure that the voices of women past are still heard today.
It’s a beautiful thing. Thanks to all of the fabulous women that came out to our last workshop! We’re looking forward to seeing everyone on March 23rd for our super fun workshop on canvassing! Bring your courage because we are going to be ROLE PLAYING and it’s going to be a riot!
