Local women speak

One of the best ways to understand the history of women in the region and the need for equality is to hear the stories of women from your community. Stepping up has teamed with WNIN to record the voices of women here. You may have seen the videos on WNIN TV. You can also stream them live  by Clicking here .

Stepping Up has joined forces with WNIN to record the voices of women in the Tri-State. Here are their stories. Start with the video by Roberta Heiman to get an overview of the local history of women suffrage.

The women included in the project so far include: Marcia Au, Vaneta Becker, Linda Bennett, Nadine Coudret, Suzanne Crouch, Rita Eykamp, Roberta Heiman, Margaret Lloyd, Wendy McCormick, Estella Moss, Maura Robinson and Linda White.

The video project would not be possible without the support and hard work of Bonnie Rheinhardt and Sarah Downs of WNIN.
