Celebrating Women - 25 March 2004

Brief looks at what's going on around the country coinciding with National Women's History Month:

The Seattle Police Department held its first Women in Law Enforcement symposium yesterday, to celebrate the contributions and history of women in the department.

Nice musings on NWHM by the Ohio state auditor and a reporter for the (Middlefield CT) Town Times.

The University of Louisville has lots of events planned.

The Defense Department held a forum last Tuesday on "Emerging Issues for Military and Civilian Women in the Department of Defense: Impact on Readiness."

In Richmond, IN, Girls Inc. teaches that history can be fun.

And of course, New Jersey being what it is, the Star-Ledger reports on combining NWHM celebrations with National Craft Month. I was an NJ resident when I first started making gum-wrapper chains (which by the way I'm bequeathing to this guy), so perhaps the state lends itself to such things.
