Some things worth checking out

The Seattle Art Museum is doing an exhibit called "Behind the Scenes: The Real Story of the Quileute Wolves," now made famous by the prose stylings of Stephanie Meyer. Looks like an interesting show and I hope it tours.

This month marks the 90th anniversary of women's right to vote in the U.S. Here's a few related links of some organizations that are doing things to keep women's history alive and vibrant:
National Women's History Museum. I just signed on as a member. They've got some excellent online exhibits and are currently fundraising for a new museum building in the D.C. area.
Women's Rights National Historical Park - Seneca Falls, NY. Site of the first Women's RIghts Convention, among other events of note.
Carrie Chapman Catt Home and Museum - Charles City, Iowa.
Sojourner Truth Institute - Battle Creek, Michigan. They've raised re raising money for a monument to Truth (and I just love putting it that way :-))).

The Sojourner Truth monument is already there in Battle Creek - it's awesome (here I am visiting it (http://www.flickr.com/photos/marydell/200938221/) a couple of years ago). The page seems to be an after-the fact thing.

Wow! That's a lot of monument! :-)
