"I thoroughly enjoy the Women's History Month luncheons. I have reflected on my own parents' commitment to recognizing the importance of our history and how we must remember it as we change our course for the better. My dad marched in the women's suffrage parades, and my mom, when she was young, started a group of diverse women interested in their cultures and histories. I hope this event continues to flourish." Charlotte Dorsey "I thought that this year was the best so far, and I have been coming for at least ten years, or maybe longer. Everything was very well organized. The food was excellent. The speech was excellent and timely. My friends who came with me also enjoyed the event immensely. Keep doing what all of you on the committee are doing!"

 Annual CelebrationWe are excited to announce our 2023 celebration honoring Women’s History Month at the Gibson House grounds on March 18, 2023, from 11am to 1pm. The theme of this year’s celebration is “Celebrating Women Who Tell Our Stories,” recognizing women, past and present, who have been active in all forms of media and storytelling including print, radio, TV, stage, screen, blogs, podcasts, and more. The timely theme honors women in every community who have devoted their lives and talents to producing art, pursuing truth, and reflecting the human condition decade after decade. Please join us to hear Winters residents Gloria Lopez, author of An American Paella, a compilation of Spanish immigrant stories, who will speak about her experience as an author, historian, and curator of local history, and Corinne Martinez, upon whose family some of the stories are based, who will read excerpts from the book. As always, our Yolo County Library and Archives will participate, as will the Woodland Public Library and UC Davis Library Special Collections. Please register for the celebration on eventbrite 512 Gibson Rd, Woodland Admission: $20 Small tasting portions of paella, tapas, and tortillas española will be served. Part of the mission of the Yolo County Women’s History Month Committee is to raise funds for our local libraries and women’s organizations. We gratefully accept any donations or sponsorships that you are willing to provide. We look forward to seeing everyone on March 18th!

Gloria M. Lopez, 2023 YCWHM Keynote Speaker, with Supervisor Gary Sandy and Yolo County Board of Supervisors Gloria M. Lopez published AN AMERICAN PAELLA: Becoming American While Staying Spanish: A Century of Memories in Winters, California and produced a documentary of the same name in 2007 after interviewing over 80 people in Winters. The stories are based on memories, experiences and tales that have been passed down for almost four generations. A few of the stories are from individuals who actually were born in Spain and immigrated to the United States; many of the stories are from individuals whose parents were the immigrants; and the remaining are from those whose grandparents and great-grandparents left their homes in search of a better life for their families. They found that better life in Winters. |
