Annual Event: Susan B. Anthony Award Ceremony
Join the BPW/Hollywood California club for the Susan B. Anthony Award program on Saturday August 14!<br /><br />As a fierce champion of women’s rights and an outspoken advocate for the abolition of slavery, Susan B. Anthony paved the way for female leaders today and organized positive change that has affected millions of people around the world.<br /><br />Since 1984, Hollywood BPW has held an annual Susan B. Anthony award ceremony; celebrating outstanding women who have excelled in their fields and raised the status of humankind. And, because this years event is so close to Women’s Equality Day, the event will emphasize Miss Anthony’s goal as a suffragist -- the right for women to have the opportunity to vote. In her words, “Failure is Impossible."<br /><br />This year, the award will be presented to Molly Murphy MacGregor, founder of the National Women’s History Alliance.<br />She, and four women, most of them teachers, campaigned for a Women's History Month to "write women back into history.” The leader of the five women, Molly Murphy MacGregor, was a 24-year-old high school history teacher in Santa Rosa, California, in 1972 when she couldn't find an answer in textbooks to answer a student's question about the women's movement.<br /><br />Attend this August 14th online event to learn more about what happened, the National Women's History Alliance, and what initiatives Molly Murphy MacGregor is leading today!
