Item Description

The making of this DVD was definitely a team effort.  It was a production of friends, family, and staff. Our goal was to give an overview of women's history.
The song was written by Marcy Telles, Morgan Stewart, Bonnie Eisenberg, and Mary Ruthsdotter and then performed by two of Bonnie's nieces at one of our events.  When we decide to make it our video anthem, Maria Cuevas joined with Bonnie's nieces to make a recording at a friend's production company.
The rest of us worked to find images that would tell the story, many of the images coming from staff and the Advisory Committee's family albums.

A FINE AND LONG TRADITION
by Marcy Telles, Morgan Stewart, Bonnie Eisenberg, and Mary Ruthsdotter

Prelude:
The history of women,
Hidden from our view.
When you know what they have done
You'll learn what you can do.

Chorus:
It's a fine and long tradition
A woven tapestry.
Woman after woman,
Making choices just like me.
Some were great and some were good.
Some did as they could.
And it's our turn now to carry it on, carry it on.
And it's our turn now to carry it on.

In the days of revolution,
Women worked to make us free.
Planted fields and taught the children,
Sacrificing willingly.
Spied and scouted, they were heroes;
Fought for human dignity.
It's there to find between the lines
In women's history.

Chorus  

It was women who insisted
On an end to slavery. 
Wrote the books and gave the speeches
And demanded liberty.
Black and white, they stood together,
For none of them were free.
They lived and died between the lines
of women's history

Chorus

The rights of those who labor,
The right to organize,
The right to vote, an end to war,
They challenged their own times.
Every cause that touches us today
Is rooted in their lives.
Their deeds you'll see through history,
It's there between the lines.

We are following their footsteps
As we seek our destiny.
As we gaze into the future
It's our past that holds the key.
We are wiser, we are stronger
If we keep their memory.
Their names you'll find between the lines
They're women's history.

Chorus
