Oklahoma Women’s County Status: Baseline Statistical Report, 2010

The Oklahoma Commission on the Status of Women voted to make the Oklahoma Women’s County Status Report a Commission project at their January, 2009 meeting. The goal is to make available a data resource for describing the status of women in Oklahoma’s 77 counties. Oklahoma State University students enrolled in Women & Politics during the Spring, 2009 semester located and organized the data under the supervision of Commissioners R. Darcy and Jennifer Paustenbaugh with Lindsay Martin-Bilbry. Students enrolled in Women & Politics during the Spring, 2010 semester developed narrative material. Andrew Potter, a student enrolled in Elementary Statistics for the Social Sciences in Spring 2010, used ARCview to create maps to correspond to each table. R. Darcy added several sections of tables.

Oklahoma continues to be ranked as the state with the HIGHEST female incarceration rates in the U.S. The Oklahoma Commission on the Status of Women has voted to make this topic their primary issue area for the FY'10 year. This issue of female incarceration rates in Oklahoma was the topic for the 2010 Oklahoma Women's Summit. This project won the 2010 Outstanding Achievement Award from the National Association of Commissions for Women. A downloadable version of the Public Agenda Action Plan can be viewed here.

 

 

Women of the Oklahoma Legislature Oral History Project

Partnering with the Oklahoma Oral History Research Program at the OSU Library and the Women's Archives at OSU, the Commission has been able to provide the funds to print and distribute to schools and libraries a poster featuring the 77 women who were elected to serve in the Oklahoma Legislature during its first 101 years. As of February 2009, 46 of these remarkable women have shared their stories as part of the Women of the Oklahoma Legislature Oral History Project. Taken individually, these interviews reflect the careers and interests of the legislators; taken collectively they constitute a narrative of the role of women in the Oklahoma Legislature over time. Lesson plans for grades 4-6 and 7-9 have also been developed to help teachers and home school families effectively incorporate  the interviews into Oklahoma history classes. More information

Winner of the 2006 Outstanding Achievement Award by the National Association of Commissions for Women, this 564-page book is the first ever almanac to focus exclusively on the women of Oklahoma. Indeed, it is the first for any state. The book consists of five article-length chapters on policy issues with a current, major impact on Oklahoma women. Additionally, there are shorter issues sections followed by relevant statistical tables. Other sections of the book include Oklahoma girls’ high school athletic records, brief biographies and photographs of distinguished Oklahoma women, and brief write-ups and photographs of women who have been inducted into Oklahoma’s halls of fame. More information
