March 2012 will mark the Ninth Annual Her-Story Project at RU, an online network of writers and readers who gather to share stories about the women or aspects of womanhood that have moved, influenced, or affected us. Coordinated in conjunction with the Women’s Studies Committee’s programming for National Women’s History Month, the celebration takes place every year from March 1-31st.
Subscribing to the Her-Story listserv
For each day during the month of March subscribers to the Her-Story List will receive an essay, character sketch, photo journal, or poem submitted by a community member contemplating the women or aspects of womanhood that have had an important impact upon, or been a source of inspiration for, the writer. Our celebration is unique in that we strive to showcase tributes composed by RU students, staff, or faculty members. To subscribe to this unique event, send an email to ewebster2@radford.edu
Share YOUR story
We welcome essays, character sketches, poems, and photo essays. Because of the email platform we are using, the pieces should not exceed 500 words and image files should be submitted as .jpg files with an overall file size of 1mb. All tributes should take as their subjects the women or aspects of womanhood that have had an important impact upon, or been a source of inspiration for, the writers.
ALL RU community members are invited to participate and to submit their essays; we welcome tributes written by students, staff, administrators, and faculty. We invite faculty to promote participation of your students.
To subscribe, contribute a memorial, or ask for further information, please contact Erin Webster-Garrett.
