    The Women's Art Registry of Minnesota began managing exhibits of their members' work in the Minnesota Women's Building in February 2007. They inspire and energize staff and visitors for the 15 non-profit organizations housed here. You are welcome to come and see for yourself weekdays from 9AM to 4PM.

D. Women Come to the Capitol

  • Rep. Paul Thissen and Karen Rowley
    In March, 40 women came for workshops on how to lobby, issues like health care access, and much more, then met with their elected officials. A great day!

G. Women's Dreams Conference

  • More Houston attendees
    On November 15-16, 2007, the Minnesota Women's Consortium hosted a conference on "Women's Dreams: 1977-2007 & Beyond." We honored some of the Minnesota women who represented us at the National Women's Conference in Houston, Texas, in 1977. We also heard from young women who are moving into leadership in the new millennium. What a pleasure to learn once again that we have so much in common, despite all the ways we and our organizations are different.

F. Gloria Steinem Visit

  • Gloria with Holly Davis & daughter Asha
    Steinem came to the home of Ruth Usem in June 2007 for a breakfast conversation with members of the DFL Feminist Caucus, Democractic Women's Leadership Coalition, and many others. Now in her 70s, she is as thoughtful and articulate as ever.

E. Latinas Organizing

  • LOLA participants, trainers, and friends
    From the 2 day LOLA training - Latinas Organizing for Leadership & Advocacy - offered at the Women's Building in June by the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Health. Local host was the Asociacion Latinas de Minnesota. The event brought together 25 Latinas, including several from Greater Minnesota. They will continue meeting to help each other move forward as leaders & advocates.

Girls Rock! the Capitol 2008

  • Mashed_in_with_sen
    The Minnesota Women's Consortium has co-sponsored this event with the Minnesota Coalition for Battered Women and Minnesota Coalition Against Sexual Assault for two years now. Girls age 13-18 participate in the Teen Summit Against Dating Violence on Tuesday evening, and Girls Rock! including the Violence Against Women Action Day rally on Wednesday. The Girls Rock program includes Government 101, a workshop on "the Personal is Political," workshop on "Safety & Self Care for Teens," snarf pizza, meet with their own legislators, and wrap up with a mock committee hearing and cake. This year's hearing had stellar guest chairwomen: Andrea Lindgren from the Office on the Economic Status of Women, Speaker of the House Margaret Kelliher, and Rep. Kate Knuth, at 26 the youngest woman ever elected to the House. Gigantic kudos to the Consortium's Erin Parrish who managed the event every step of the way.

B. Celebration 28

  • Barb, Jan and the crowd
    The Consortium's 28th anniversary party was held January 31, 2008 at the Science Museum of Minnesota in St. Paul. After the hors d'oeuvres and cash bar, we enjoyed a 10 minute video, "Steps Forward," with achievements of the Minnesota women's movement over the past 30 years; an excerpt from the chamber opera, "Meeting At Seneca Falls,"; and honored 12 mazing women.

La Asociacion le pertenece a toda mujer...

Silvia
Muchas gracias al Women's Consortium por el apoyo brindado a la Minnesota Latina Women's Association. De hecho el nombre del proyecto nacio de una conversacion informal con Bonnie y Bharti, quienes tomaron muy en serio la propuesta.

La Asociacion le pertenece a toda mujer que sienta que su espiritu y sus raices estan compenetrados con la cultura Latina y que este buscando un espacio para compartir la riqueza de nuestra herencia. La mujer, de por si, tiene una generosidad y una autenticidad al dar que es desbordante. Ese es un ingrediente fundamental para ejercer un liderazgo comprometido en esta sociedad de cambio. Por este motivo, la Asociacion de Mujeres Latinas de Minnesota tiene como mision reconocer, promover, destacar, pulir e implementar el liderazgo de la mujer Latina dentro de la esfera politica, social, academica, y por ende, economica. Esta es una invitacion formal a que tu mujer Latina, aunes esfuerzos para seguir construyendo una sociedad mas justa para nuestra generacion y las generaciones por venir! Para estar en la lista que envía para el Asociacion, envíe por favor su email address y su dirección postal al consorcio: info@mnwomen.org o 550 Rice Street, St Paul, Minnesota 55103. GRACIAS WOMEN'S CONSORTIUM!!!
- Silvia Ontaneda, president, Asociacion de Mujeres Latinas de Minnesota
