National Women's History Month--KSL March Research Spotlight

The National Women's History Project celebrates Women's Art: Women's Vision as the 2008 theme of National Women's History Month, KSL's chosen Research Spotlight for March.

Discover the visual arts through the diversity of women and their historic accomplishments. The 2008 honorees showcase women artists from the 1800s to contemporary artists like Judy Chicago. In the "Biography Center," read about former honorees such as Abigal Adams, First Lady and women's rights advocate in the late 1700s & early 1800s; Bella Abzug, Congresswoman; Maya Angelou, author and poet, and others.

Take the quiz "Test Your Knowledge of Women's History" (answers included) and see if you can name the first woman to run for president, the first licensed woman doctor in the U.S., and when girls were allowed to join Little League teams! Find it all, in the March KSL Research Spotlight.
