RATIONALE
Through the annual celebration of Women's History Month, the City
of Miami has a unique opportunity to recognize the significant
contributions of women in this community. Nationally and
internationally, communities are focusing on the necessity to
bring women of all races, ethnicities, and abilities out of
the second-class status to which they are often assigned on the
basis of gender.
The Miami Celebration of Women's History is an opportunity to
* Be a catalyst for unifying various groups
* Celebrate women's past contributions
* Encourage women's full participation in the future
growth of Miami
* Enhance culture and diversity within a major theme
* Bring world class exhibits to Miami
* Assure Miami's image as a city that supports,
promotes and encourages women as valued members of
the community
This project will provide for a broader, more diverse local base,
greater community participation, networking nationally and
internationally, marketing amd promoting high quality, world -
class events, and recognizing Miami as a leader in an emerging
trend.

BACKGROUND TO WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH
For the past several years, the University of Miami Women's
Commission has worked with the Community Coalition for Women's
History as well as other prganizations and institutions
to coordinate the annual celebration of women's History Month
each March.
i
The focal point of the month is March 8th, International Women's
a �
Day. The celebration of women's History Month began in Europe to
commemorate the contribution of women in the labor movement. In
1977, the National Women's History Project was begun in Santa
Rosa, California, to encourage similar celebrations in the United
States. Federal, state, and local governments have issued
proclamations each year. (See attached Proclamation from
Governor Graham.) Corporations, educational institutions,
community agencies, and other organizations have sponsored
programs and activities. A sample listing of 1985 programs is
attached. In all, over 107 activities or events were held- in
Dade County as part of this celebration.

"What is the purpose of the Community Coalition for
Women's History, and who acre we?
• Our purpose and identity are merged in our name: a
community of women --that is, women from the business,
political, academic, and private world --who, two years
ago, came together voluntarily under the umbrella of
MDC::, to make the Greater ;Miami* community aware of
Nat*.,nal Women's History Month. History, as most of us
have learned it, is a record of significant events and
periods concentrating on the political, military, and
economic but, until the 19601s, with little emphasis on the
importance of social history. women, for.. the most part,
have been excluded from "making" such history. Our
history --the stories of women who have worked inside and
outside of the home --and the profound contributions made
by those who are perceived as marginal and peripheral,
has been consistently denied.
And so, our purpose during Women's History Month, and•as
the Community Coalition has been to make visible what
has been invisible, to validate the lives of our
foremotners,- and to learn about what women did, nave
done, and continue to do --in all areas."

The Birth project is a textile collection, consisting of
80 exhibition units - a work or works of art plus docunentation
panels. The project was begun in 1980 and is only =-; reaching
completion. The Project is not a single work of art, but is
a large series of works intended to be exhibited in small
'groupings. Needleworkers throughout the United States, and in
Canada and New Zealand, worked on'this project in their homes.
Pieces of the project have been shown throughout the comtry,
including a show at the Broward Community College in 1984.
