HER STORY 2002 joins HER STORY 2001 as the Women's Collective of KVMR offers twenty more stories of remarkable women.

In celebration of March, Women's History Month, we bring you more short stories, free to all public radio stations for broadcast. These stories were produced by members of the Collective and of our listening community in Western Nevada County.

Each set, HER STORY 2001 and HER STORY 2002, consists of twenty stories of individual, remarkable women. The stories are available in CD form to public radio stations at no charge.

• Forty individual four minute stories
• Musical theme is a reggae version of Sojourner Truth's famous speech. "Ain't I A Woman."
• Some stories include sound clips from the women themselves
• Some include dramatizations of a woman's words
• Most include an appropriate musical background

The stories include a range of women, from well known heroes such as Dolores Huerta to less known "Hillbilly Women," from Mother Jones to Mary Magdelene.

The Women's Collective of KVMR is excited to be able to offer these stories, created by women in our community. Since we all honor many more than twenty women, we see this as a beginning. We invite contributions to the next in an ongoing series of "Her Story: Ain't I A Woman."
