WHEREAS,
Iowa
women
of
every
race,
class,
and
3
ethnic
background
have
made
historic
contributions
4
to
the
growth
and
strength
of
our
state
and
nation
5
in
countless
recorded
and
unrecorded
ways,
including
6
through
the
struggle
for
women’s
rights
despite
being
7
underpaid;
and
8
WHEREAS,
Iowa
women
were
particularly
important
in
9
the
establishment
of
early
charitable,
philanthropic,
10
and
cultural
institutions
in
our
state
and
nation;
and
11
WHEREAS,
Iowa
women
and
men
amended
the
Iowa
12
Constitution
to
read
that
“All
men
and
women
are,
by
13
nature,
free
and
equal,
and
have
certain
inalienable
14
rights...”;
and
15
WHEREAS,
Iowa
women
have
been
leaders
in
16
agriculture,
business,
industry,
and
academia,
as
17
well
as
the
abolitionist
movement,
the
emancipation
18
movement,
the
industrial
labor
movement,
the
civil
19
rights
movement,
the
peace
movement,
and
the
women’s
20
suffrage
movement,
which
create
a
more
fair
and
just
21
society
for
all;
and
22
WHEREAS,
despite
these
contributions
and
those
23
of
women
throughout
the
world,
the
role
of
women
24
has
been
consistently
overlooked
and
undervalued
in
25
the
literature,
teaching,
and
study
of
history;
NOW
26
THEREFORE,
27
BE
IT
RESOLVED
BY
