WOMEN'S HISTORY WEEK
March 3-9, 1985
***********************
WHEREAS, American women of every race, class and ethnic back-
ground helped found the Nation in countless recorded
and unrecorded ways;
WHEREAS, American women have played and continue to play a
critical economic, cultural and social role in every
sphere of our Nation's life;
WHEREAS, American women have played a unique role throughout
our history by providing the majority of the Nation's
volunteer labor force, have been particularly important
in the establishment of early charitable, philanthropic,
and cultural institutions and have been at the forefront
of every major progressive movement for social change;
and
WHEREAS, despite these contributions, the role of American women
in history has been consistently overlooked and under-
valued in the body of American history;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Kenneth L. Weaver, Mayor of the City of Bozeman,
do hereby proclaim the week of March 3-9, 1985, as
WOMEN'S HISTORY WEEK
and do urge all the citizens of Bozeman to observe such week with
appropriate ceremonies and activities.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set
my hand and caused the great seal of
SEAL the City of Bozeman, in the State of
Montana, to be affixed at Bozeman, Montana,
this 25th day of February, in the year of
Our Lord, One Thousand Nine Hundred and
Eighty-Five.
