Education

Knowledge is Power
Education and Preservation
Learn about the history of women in California politics. We are preserving our history by creating an oral history and an archive by making video recordings of elected women telling their stories.

Empowering Women
Empower and Encourage
One of our goals is to dispel the myths that surround politics and by doing so, encourage public service by getting more women and others involved within their communities.

 

Valuable Stories of the Women In California Politics – “Her Words”

WICP New LOGO Approved 9.29.13Women In California Politics produces videotaped oral histories of women that have helped shape California politics. “Her Words”, the women’s oral history project of Women In California Politics individual video oral histories capture the personality, enthusiasm, passion and commitment of the women who blazed new trails in our state. This collection of videos will serve as a valuable tool and resource to empower, educate and inspire present and future generations. The initial videos will focus on the alumni state legislators that are still with us and will preserve each woman’s story, in her own words. Each woman elected to the Legislature has a number in order of their election (just like the Presidents). Can you identify each woman in the snapshots above by their number? “Leona’s List” is the link below to help you.

 

A Valuable Resource
This collection of videos will serve as a valuable tool and resource to empower, educate and inspire present and future generations. The initial videos will focus on the alumni state legislators that are still with us and will preserve each woman’s story, in her own words.

 

A Teaching Tool
Our videos will document how and why these women came to be involved in politics. We will preserve these stories in an archive so that this history will not ever be lost. The videos will also be available to serve as a valuable teaching tool in women’s studies courses in universities and other educational institutes.
