AAUW honors Women’s History Month Learn about local women and their contributions to Astoria ASTORIA — To celebrate March as Women’s His- tory Month, the American Association of University Women invites the public to hear stories contained in the booklet “100 Women Who Helped Make Astoria” at 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 17 in the Flag Room of the Asto- ria Public Library, located at 450 10th St. In the 1980s, there was virtually nothing written about women in schools’ history books. To reme- dy this omission, Astoria’s AAUW branch contributed books and posters on women to schools. Special dinners and receptions, bringing women and women’s groups together, were organized to discuss the wealth of variety and strengths about women in the community. A com- mittee was formed, param- eters were determined, eras and names were researched. This booklet began with the idea of acknowledging the contributions women have made and continue to make to Astoria. Two years were devoted to the booklet, “100 Women Who Helped Make Astoria,” for presentation during Astoria’s bicentenni- al year, 2011. Over the past two years AAUW has had the plea- sure of hearing how eight women have helped Astoria: Rae Goforth, Karen Mel- lin, Susan Skinner, Barbara Roberts, Anita Schacher, Arline LaMear, Edith Hen- ningsgaard Miller and Gerry Swenson. The recordings of these women have been add- ed to AAUW’s archive of “100 Women Who Helped Make Astoria” to acknowl- edge their impact on the community. AAUW would once again like to recognize more of the 100 women honorees. This year, hear Janet Weidman will share her story as well as others, and learn more about what makes women involve themselves in their communities.
