SHEros, Women Missing from HIStory

“Sheros, Missing from HIStory!” (1993)
In 1993, members of the Women’s Action Coalition researched individual women, or “Sheros”, whose stories are not typically included in history textbooks. Twelve posters were prepared, each on one woman, and pasted throughout the Boston area. Teachers also wrote to request copies to post in their classrooms. Included here are Fannie Lou Hamer, a civil rights activist, Mary Harris “Mother” Jones, who helped to organize copper mine and cotton mill workers against poor working conditions, and Hannah Senesh, a Jewish resistance leader. From the Women’s Action Coalition (Boston, Mass.) records.

Missing from HIStory! HER story #2 MARY HARRIS I I MOTHER II JONES 1830- 1930 ''No matter what your fight, don't be ladylike,'' she told a group of suffragists. ''You don't need the vote to raise hell.'' Mother Jones was nearly 50 years old when she became a fiery union organizer. She travelled among the coal mines, the copper mines, the cotton mills and the sweat shops to organize workers and often found herself in the center of bitter and bloody struggles. She organized women into broomstick brigades, banging pots and pans, prompting one mine guard to say, "It is very difficult to deal with women who resort to these tactics." When soldiers barricaded a bridge that led to striking miners, she waded through an icy river to reach them. She said, .. Pray for the dead and fight like hell for the living ... In this spirit, she continued her work until her death fifty years later. 'NAC is watching. K'ornen take action. \Nomen·s Action Coalition 446-0364 �

Born into a family of sharecroppers in Mississippi, she started picking cotton at the age of six. In 1962 at the age of 45, she attended a civil rights rally led by the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee {SNCC). When she attempted to register to vote, she was turned away and later fired from her job. Soon after she became an organizer for SNCC. Hamer was the vice-chairperson of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party that challenged the allwhite Mississippi delegation at the National Democratic Convention in 1964. She was an early critic of the Vietnam War, drawing connections between war, racism and poverty. 'NAC is watching. ~ornen take action. \1\/omen's Action Coalition 446-0364 �
