Celebrating Women - 11 March 2004

The National Council of Women's Organizations "is a nonpartisan, nonprofit umbrella organization of almost 200 groups that collectively represent over ten million women across the United States. The only national coalition of its kind, NCWO has over twenty years’ experience uniting American women’s groups." Very spiffy website.

Speaking of organization, Jesse Taylor reports more or less on The Women's Museum and their "national scholarship program to identify the Total Women of Tomorrow and a collectible card series featuring the Total Women of Today and Yesterday." Jesse doesn't think girls would be interested in trading cards, with which I disagree (but then I collect interesting trading cards), but of course that's not the point of the scholarship program. The program's main thrust, near as I can tell, is to sell ARRID® products, since every trading card has the corporate name embarrassingly emblazoned upon it. Also, one of the Total Women of Today selected in 2004 is Condi? As apparently-not-interested-in-trading-cards girls might say, "eww?"
