I think that we have talked quite a bit about the women in the African American civil rights movement, but we have not really talked about the Chicano civil rights movement and the women involved with this movement. It would be a good idea for us to explore this movement and women in it as well.
I think this article reiterates exactly what our class has been talking about how women were overlooked and more behind the scenes in this movement. The women were not really given the credit they deserve and this article realizes that and touches on important aspects that our class has talked about.
While looking around on the internet to try and find more about women in the civil rights era I came across this link that talks a about a book that would be a good resource for our class and possibly some group projects. Its a book about Women in the Civil Rights Movement from 1954-1965. I don't know if it would help but it might!
I think that this article gives a good insight into the influential women that have come out of Kentucky. It gives brief descriptions of each of the women. This could be a very helpful resource to look back at which women were the most influential.
Two women receive medals for their service in the military. They are from Wilmore these could be two women that could help with the oral history and give more insight into how women were treated in WWII as nurses.
This is a biography of Mae Street Kidd that looks substantial right now, but it does say not to cite due to lack of resources. The solution could be solved if they were to cite the "Passing for Black" book. Let me know if you think that this website would be informational to the rest of the group.
