From March 20th to June 1st, the citizens of Ohio will have an opportunity to “vote” for a new statue in National Statuary Hall. Here is an opportunity for citizens of Ohio to help our government move closer to gender parity! What’s unique about this “election” is that all citizens of Ohio can vote, regardless of their age. Voting is done at one of the many Historical Sites around the state or Ohio residents can download a ballot at www.legacyforOhio.org and mail it in.
Out of the ten nominees, there are three women, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Judith Resnik and Harriet Taylor Upton. So watch this short video, and then forward it to your friends in Ohio, and ask them to take all their friends, family and children to the nearest polling place and help “Put A Woman in National Statuary Hall.” The competition is stiff, but if we band together we can change the number of women in Statuary Hall from nine to ten. For latest updates on what’s happening in Ohio, go to the FACEBOOK page Put a Woman in Statuary Hall.
Amazing video, beautifully done and it brings clarity to the subliminal
lack of women’s imagery and symbolism for young girls.
Thank you!

We can all help even if we don’t live in Ohio. Reach out to people you know who do. And ask them to energize their family and community in honor of Women’s History Month!
