Great work!
I was very fortunate to have attended the Going Public : Cross-disciplinary Perspectives on Presenting Women’s History held October 22 – 24, 2009 at the ROYAL ALBERTA MUSEUM. I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the presentations.
Is this an annual event? Is there any information about upcoming conferences.
During a question and answer discussion, it was raised that more research should be completed about woman in agriculture during the wars. I happened to have completed a project at our museum in 2009 which is in this topic area and extremely interesting. I would be happy to share the research.
Thanks,
Janine
