Celebrate Women’s History Month: Knowing Your History Is Key
It’s Women’s History Month, a time of the year to acknowledge all that women have contributed to advance society and change the world. Being familiar with your history is the first of the nine power tools created by Gloria Feldt, co-founder and president of Take The Lead, and part of the 9 Power Tools To Advance Your Career Online Course. It tops the list because it is the foundation of your life and career. “Know Your History: And you can create the future of your choice.”
The Power To Expand Histories By Amplifying Perspectives of Native American Leaders By Nicole Anderson Cobb
Recently I was awarded an artist-in-residency at Allerton Park & Retreat Center where a colleague and I examined the history of the park and 19th century
settler-Native American relations. Yet, after spending two weeks in New York City as an Auburn Seminary/ APRIL Collidge Scholars, our Allerton project “Beyond (Land) Acknowledgement” expanded even more.
The #1 Action You Can Take Today To Make Life More #GenderFair
How many clip art flowers and pink figures, celebratory Women’s History Monthposts have you seen already this March — and we’re just a few days into it? Somehow it seems that
many people have forgotten (if they ever knew) that women needed this special month, just as February was Black History Month for the same reason — because the narratives of history have not been written with our lens, and often our accomplishments have been downright ignored — or stolen. I have a long list of women who have been written out of history or never made it into the books. Women like Sybil Ludington who rode farther and mustered more troops to
fight the British than Paul Revere (if he even existed), but only people in the small Connecticut town where she lived seem to have heard of her. Or Rosalind Franklin, whose work on DNA should have earned her the Nobel Prize that Francis Crick and James Watson accepted after her death without attribution to her essential contributions.
Gloria Feldt, co-founder and president of Take The Lead, serves as the G100 Global Chair for Leadership Parity and will introduce former U.S. Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney who will receive a Woman of Excellence Award.
Feldt is speaking on a virtual panel for the SOAR (Seek, Observe, Act, Renew: Midlife Transition Program) of the Drucker School of Management at Claremont Graduate University.
