Description:

History is not just famous people. History is the life your mom and grandmother and great-grandmothers and aunts lived. Who would know anything about Whistler's mother if he hadn't painted her? You will tell two partners something about your mother or another woman in your family and maybe share a photo.

To celebrate Women's History Month think about or ask about your mother's life or that of another woman in your family. Write the important facts -- dates of birth, where they lived. their education, their children, their work, their talents, their involvement in their community and family, etc. Anything interesting about one or more of your female relatives. If you have a photo you can copy and send along that would be great, but not necessary. You should write a page -- more if you feel like it.

Celebrate a woman, or more than one, in your family and share the information with others.

This is international [only letter postage] I will check your ratings and ban anyone with less recent no sends or other questionable ratings. Newbies welcome if you've completed five swaps.

wonderful idea!

June, this is a really great idea! After reading your description I started thinking about my mom in a different way. I sometimes get so involved in the current drama that I forget about the life she led when she was younger and some of her interesting experiences. Since this swap will help me focus on one of my personal goals, (writing our family history), I'm in! And I hope a lot of others join us and begin to focus on the positive contributions of their women relatives as well.

June, when I invited you to join my swap, I decided to check out the swaps you were hosting; this is fantastic, I wish I would have seen it in time to join. I hope you'll host another like it in the future, and if you do, please remember me, I'd love to be a part of it!:)
