WOMEN'S HISTORY IS OUR HISTORY

This year Women's Resource Center joins in the National Women's History Project's (NWHP) 30th Anniversary Celebration focusing on ways to write women back into history.  Countless women have made incredible, brave and remarkable contributions to their neighborhoods, communities, nations and the world.  Too many times,  the accomplishments of women has been recorded with invisible ink.  It is the goal of NWHP and WRC to recognize  women for the role they play in making all our lives better and our future brighter. Women's Resource Center celebrates women every month but during March the entire nation gives homage to those brave individuals who stepped out and up sharing powerful messages that still echo today...you can become empowered through independent thought and self-sufficiency to explore-discover and share.

WRC celebrates reknown renaissance writer, poet, actress, author and activist MAYA ANGELOU who speaks eloquently to every women with her poem, " A Woman Should Have..."

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE .
a youth she's content to leave behind....
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE .
a past juicy enough that she's looking forward to
retelling it in her old age....
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE .
a set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black lace bra...
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE .
one friend who always makes her laugh.. and one who lets her cry...
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE .
a good piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in her
family...
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ..
eight matching plates, wine glasses with stems,
and a recipe for a meal,
that will make her guests feel honoured...
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE
a feeling of control over her destiny..
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD
KNOW...
how to fall in love without losing herself..
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
how to quit a job, break up with a lover, and confront a friend
without; ruining the friendship...
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
when to try harder... and WHEN TO WALK AWAY...
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
that she can't change the length of her calves, the width of her hips,or the nature of her parents..
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
that her childhood may not have been perfect...but it's over...
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
what she would and wouldn't do for love or more...
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW....
how to live alone... even if she doesn't like it...
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW..
whom she can trust, whom she can't,and why she shouldn't take it personally...
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
where to go... be it to her best friend's kitchen table..
or a charming Inn in the woods.... when her soul needs
soothing...
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW..
What she can and can't accomplish in a day...
a month...and a year...
