None of the Gender in links under US history have anything on them. I keep getting Error 404 – not found. Is this something at my end or are the links inactive? Since it’s March I would need them NOW to use the information
I have been asking 30 to 40 year old females about title 9
They are woefully ignorant of the ramifications of this landmark women’s rights leap.
Help!
Please remind womens studies groups of the importance of Elizabeth Cady Stanton also.
Wouldn’t be where we are today without these two parts of our herstory.
Appreciate all you do THANKS!
Oops. Thanks Maureen, we’ve fixed the broken links.
