The second annual Oklahoma Women’s History Conference is scheduled for March 1 at the Oklahoma History Center in Oklahoma City. The event, running from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., is free and open to the public, but prior registration is required. Attendees have the option to purchase a boxed lunch during registration or bring their own.
The conference will feature two panel discussions. The first, from 11 a.m. to 12:15 p.m., will explore early Oklahoma women’s activism with speakers Dr. Edith Ritt-Coulter, Rilla Askew, and Connie Cronley, moderated by historian Dr. Sunu Kodumthara.
Following a lunch break from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m., there will be a keynote presentation by Dr. Autumn Brown of Oklahoma State University’s Oklahoma Oral History Research Program and the Clara Luper Civil Rights and Freedom Center.
The second panel discussion takes place from 1:45 to 3 p.m., featuring members of the Oklahoma Commission on the Status of Women and the Oklahoma Women’s Hall of Fame, moderated by Saidy Herrera, multicultural officer for the Oklahoma Historical Society.
A social hour concludes the event, offering networking opportunities for attendees. Additionally, local nonprofit women’s organizations will have a pop-up area for sharing information and resources. The museum store at the venue will also be open.
Registration is mandatory for participation in this free event, and attendees can order boxed lunches from Mediterranean Imports during this process as they won't be available on-site that day.
The conference location is at 800 Nazih Zuhdi Drive in Oklahoma City. Viewing museum galleries requires an additional fee separate from conference attendance fees; however, guests are welcome to visit them while present at the center.
Organized by staff from both the Oklahoma Historical Society and Pioneer Woman Museum and Statue staff, further inquiries can be directed to phone number 580-765-6108.
