Sen. Nancy Kassebaum, R-Kansas, speaks at a program titled "Celebrate Women Who Care About Kansas," as Mary Turkington, chairman of the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center board, looks on. Kassebaum gave the keynote address Friday night at the Kansas Union.
Celebrating the 125th anniversary of Kansas' statehood and realizing the importance of women in developing the state was cause for celebration Friday and Saturday in the Kansas Union.
"Celebrate! Women Who Care About Kansas!" was sponsored by the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center and included a speech Friday evening by Sen. Nancy Kasebaum, R-Kansas, and a Saturday panel discussion about issues important to women
Kassheba, in her address to about 100 women in the Kansas Room, said women should make the most of their political muscle.
Women should recognize that all issues, not just those that traditionally have been called women's issues, are important to women and that they should put themselves in positions of influence, she said.
The heritage of the courageous pioneer women and the timelessness of the prairie gives Kansas women the perspective, common sense and strength of spirit they need to help solve world problems, she said.
The theme of women being in positions of influence and making a difference in the world carried into the panel discussions Saturday.
Emily Taylor, former dean of women at KU; Zula Battening Greene, a Topena Capitol-Journal columnist; Joan Finney, state treasurer; and Deanell Tacha, 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals judge and former vice chancellor for academic affairs, presented the first
discussion Saturday morning.
In a program titled "Reflections of Women Who Care About Kansas," each gave a synopsis of her life, then discussed the choices she had made
in her life and the importance of making choices.
Greene said she had never had a choice about marriage — it was her destiny. But she always had wanted
to write and she made the choice to do it.
Taylor said that women didn't always have choices.
"The economy pulls women in and out of the job market just like wars used to," she said.
Tacha said, "Some choices are often forgotten."
tacna spoke of professional women in their 30s who never had married and probably never would.
"They are so busy with their careers they forget about the personal choices," she said.
They discussed the need for women to be qualified for their jobs, to dream big and to be flexible.
In another program later in the morning, Patty Carey, president of the board of directors for the Kansas Cosmosphere and Discovery Center in Hutchinson; Margorie Powell Allen, president of the Powell Family Foundation; and Marynell Reece, treasurer of Reece Construction Company in Scandia, talked about business and industry in Kansas.
Reece said women always had been involved in business in Kansas, but they must be qualified and knowledgeable to succeed.
"You can't bluff your way through in the business industry," she said. Carey stresses that women should watch and then do their best to achieve it.
"I wanted to do something big," she said. "I wanted a space center for Kansas. With the help of volunteers, we built one half and in 1881 the Kansas Cosmosphere and Discovery Center opened."
