Nothing Less Than Justice: New Public History Website on 1977 California Women’s Conference

“Nothing Less Than Justice” is an exciting new webpage memorializing and investigating the significance of California’s International Women’s Year as well as the lives of participating delegates. The ambitious digital humanities project, which presents multiple possible classroom uses, is the result of a collaboration between the University of Houston and the University of California’s Irvine, Davis, and San Diego campuses.
