Christina Rosales at The Dallas Morning News is reporting that the Women’s Museum at Fair Park is closing. It will remain open through the State Fair and until October 31, but then no more.
While it is always sad to see an effort for education and progress end, it may also be a sign that society is veering away from he-said, she-said way of thinking ala Shana Alexander-James Kirkpatrick. Perhaps it is the fact that people have moved on to greater levels of equality and understanding.
When it opened 11 years ago, Cathy Bonner, who had been a part of the late Texas Gov. Ann Richards‘s posse, was a driving force. She is now president of Service King Collision Repair Centers.
Let’s salute the people who had a noble cause and created the Women’s Museum.

As a founding member of The Women’s Museum, I think this is a sad day for history–everyone’s history. The work of men has been praised and saved since the beginning of time. Alas, we have limited records of the contributions of the “hands that rocked the cradles”. The encouraging news is that a few good men are beginning to lend a hand to the rocking.
