There's a lot of buzz around the state for My Story Matters! The Vermont Commission on Women and the Women's History Project have been passing along news, and so is our partner and supporter, the Vermont Humanities Council. In fact, Mark Fitzsimmons at the council just told us:
'We’re proud to be supporting the Vermont Women’s History Project on this conference. It’s really an impressive grass roots effort, with a diverse group of people recognizing a need, coalescing around a good idea, and assembling the horse power from disparate sources to make it happen. I particularly like the fact that it breaks the confines of the classroom for young readers and potential historians, and grounds history in their very own lives, and in the lives of others that they can talk and relate to. This conference is a great case in point for why most of us live in Vermont.'
