Quote: â I have been teaching womenâs history my entire career, so I have taught lots of young people,....and I have found such curiosity to know more about how we got to where we are and particularly about the relationship of black women and white women.â
Until recently, womenâs history has been buried within the layers of known and documented facts; an untold history of unpublished stories. And yet, we know it matters greatly that girls see themselves in the pages of history; that they discover the generations of strong, resilient, purpose-driven women who came before them, breaking ground in striving for equality. It takes the persistence and patience of a trained historian to weave a more complete tapestry of the events that have shapedâand will shapeâthe lives of women in todayâs world, as these stories need to be teased out of the existing narrative. It also takes a great storyteller to shine a light on the gems.
Listen in when host Trudy Hall has the opportunity to learn from Dr. Elisabeth Griffith, activist, celebrated historian, acclaimed author, long-tenured girls school leader, and engaging storyteller, as they discuss the importance of girls knowing womenâs historyâor the âpinkâ timeline, as it is sometimes called. Griffithâs new book, Formidable: American Women and the Fight for Equality, 1920-2020, which the New York Times raved is âa profoundly illuminating tour de force,â is a multiracial, inclusive timeline of womenâs history packed with stories that will empower girls and women of all ages.You will also hear clips from both Griffithâs PBS Newshour interview as well as a spot on TED talk by Emily Krichbaum, Director of the Center for Girlsâ and Young Womenâs Leadership at Columbus School for Girls. It is often said that âgirls need to see it to be it.â Perhaps it would be even more powerful if they also read it, heard it, and learned about it in history class.
