What Defines Your Generation of Women? In the Fall of 2001, Paula Goldman partnered with the International Museum of Women. They sent this question out by email to women aged twenty to forty around the world—and received thousands of replies from over 105 countries.
In reviewing the inspired responses from young women around the world, 95 percent of which had come in by email, the museum recognized a historic opportunity to use technology to start a popular global conversation.
The results are both a book, Imagining Ourselves: Global Voices from a New Generation of Women, and an online exhibit on the web site of the International Museum of Women. The book presents "the photography, paintings, poetry, fiction, songs, and essays of 105 young women from fifty-seven countries" and includes "submissions and images not available online."
According to its web site:
The mission of the International Museum of Women is to value the lives of women around the world. The Museum amplifies the voices of women worldwide through history, the arts and cultural programs that educate, create dialogue, build community, and inspire action. With its unique focus on cultural change, the Museum advances the human right to gender equity worldwide. . . .
The Museum operates as a Museum "without walls", serving a global community. Through the use of advanced technology, strategic partnerships with global organizations, and a physical presence in the San Francisco bay area, the Museum offers innovative programming both locally and beyond.
