Even though this was the first and only federally funded women's conference, it has largely faded from national memory. The “Sharing Stories from 1977" project documents and preserves the stories of National Women's Conference participants through biographies, oral histories, demographic mapping, and interpretive essays.en-USThe author of this work is the copyright owner.
