Wanted: Rosies and Winnies
Washington Women in Trades is looking for women that worked in the trades during WWII, commonly referred to as "Rosies", due to the Rosie the Rivetor campaign used to recruit women. If you are a Rosie or know of one (like your mother or grandmother, aunts or neighbors), go to this link to help the Washington Women in Trades organization preserve this vital part of American women's history.

Welcome to Sunshine For Women
-a place for women and men who love women to get some warmth and a little light.
Abortion with an attitude (includes information on reproductive rights, contraception, and emergency contraception)
Lots of links to some wonderful, but obscure, sites. Plus, pro-choice essays by Sunshine.
Bibliographies
Bibliographies of primary sources which emphasize women who flourished before 1800, although a few 19th and 20th century feminist writers are included. The bilbliography includes links to sites with biographical information about our foremothers. Also included are (1) links to e-texts by some feminist foremothers writing about feminism and (2) a previously unpublished paper on feminist foremother Sophia by the reknowned feminist historian Dr. Barbara Brandon Schorrenberg.
Book Summaries: Sunshine's Women's Studies
Summaries of about 150 books, mostly feminist works dealing with Feminist Chistian Theology, feminist writers, and women's history, but a few are on general history. I tried to keep my opinions to a minimum, but occasionally I couldn't resist. :-) I tried as much as possible to let the author's speak for themselves.
Critiques of Christian Reconstructionism
Czech Feminist Trailblazers
Women's studies, women's history, and reclaiming the history of important feminist women and men is just beginning in the Czech Republic. Lenka Vytlacilova, a student at Charles University in Prague, wrote to thank me for Sunshine for Women. Well, one thing lead to another and, to make a long story short, we have teamed up to create this page celebrating Czech feminist pioneers. Lenka uses turn-of-the-century and pre-WW II books and encyclopedias from her university to write profiles of important feminist pioneers. She e-mails them to me and I place them here on Sunshine for Women. Like all students, Lenka has limited time for extra-curricular activities. But we intend on adding new profiles as her time permits.
Essays on Women's History
One or two page essays written by Sunshine on women in history and current events.
Feminist Forefathers
Spolighting a few of the many wonderful men throughout history who have helped women on our path toward justice and equality.
Father's Day Tribute 2003: Thomas Herrtell, Remarks on the Bill to Restore to Married Women "The Right Of Property," as Guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States, 1837, a speech presented by Judge Thomas Herttell (and later published as a book) on his introduction to the New York State legislature of New York State's first Married Women's Property Rights Bill. Passage of this bill was a watershed event in woman's history -- for the first time, women had legal standing in a court of law. Women could act on their own initiative and not rely on a father, brother, son, or guardian to take their case to court for them. Women could sue and be sued on behalf of their property.

Sunshine for Women encourages you to support our feminist sisters by purchasing their books, reading them, disseminating the ideas they contain, but most especially, by making their book available to our sisters, our daughters, and the community at large by requesting your school library, your public library, and area bookstores to carry their books. Remember it is not enough to write literature, history, and theology, we must pass these works on to future generations. Help us to preserve these works for a new generation by putting them on library bookshelves.
