The Internet has some nice resources for topics related to women's history. The following sites are a good place to start.

This is the history of the countless ordinary Arkansas women who sustained society with their unpaid labor as lovers, companions, homemakers, cooks, cleaners, farm hands, raisers of children, nurses to the sick, conveyors of tradition, and keepers of the faith. It is a story told, as much as possible, through the words of the women themselves, and through extraordinary images gathered from archives statewide.

The National Women's Hall of Fame, a national membership organization, holds as its mission:

To honor in perpetuity these women, citizens of the United States of America whose contributions to the arts, athletics, business, education, government, the humanities, philanthropy and science, have been the greatest value for the development of their country.

The Hall is a shrine to some of the greatest women in the history of this country and a tribute that grows annually with each induction ceremony as we learn to appreciate more about the wonderful contributions that women make to our civilization.
