A video from Rotary's past, on the role of women in Rotary over a quarter of a century ago.

A 1984 Video on Women in Rotary, based on an RI slide show, produced and narrated by RGHF founder Jack Selway

This video was produced for Rotarians in Rotary District 5160 in 1984, three years prior to the admission of women. It was produced for a district conference. My late partner, Peggy Patton and I re-wrote a supplied script to show the accomplishments of women at that time. The original provided was, we felt, not as complimentary toward the role of women and Rotary. 

Since that time, I have helped to create www.jeanharris.org which is a part of Rotary Global History, and which tells the "whole story" of the remarkable work of women in Rotary. This is the website you are now visiting.

This website and the links above clearly show that things have changed and the role of women is unquestionably a remarkable contribution.
