About Our Celebration:
The original idea for a Celebration of Women at Ancient Sites was
first expressed several months ago by Claudilla Caecilius, who was inspired
by a suggestion from Belay Fabius. At the time, Claudilla posted the poem
PhenomenalWoman by Maya Angelou to celebrate Women's History month, and to
awaken interest in our creating this Celebration of Women.
The women of Ancient Sites are not only celebrating notable
women of antiquity and the recent past this weekend; they are also celebrating
themselves, and their relationships to each other - as learners, teachers,
friends, helpers, chat participants, and creators here of our marvelous
educational Ancient Sites community.
