ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Office on Women’s Health (OWH) acknowledges with deepest appreciation all of the individuals who have made the publication of A Century of Women’s Health: 1900–2000 a reality. The DHHS Time Capsule Planning Committee wanted a document to include in the DHHS Women’s Health Time Capsule that would highlight and honor women’s struggles and accomplishments during the 20^th century. We hope the document and the annotated list of time capsule items will help the women who open the time capsule in 2100 and examine its contents, understand why these items were deemed important enough to be preserved.

Substance and clarity were given to the document by all those who drafted chapters and reviewed various drafts to help refine the contents. However, this booklet could not have been published without the assistance of Valerie Gwinner who wrote much of the document; Barbara James who edited the document and coordinated its production; Carol Krause who prepared the time line of significant women’s health related events that appear in Appendix A; Barbara Disckind who also edited the document; Sandra Lowery who designed the cover and identified and obtained permission to use the photographs included in the booklet, and the members of the DHHS Women’s Health Time Capsule Planning Committee who served as reviewers, collected and contributed items for the time capsule, and gave their unwavering support to this activity. The Planning Committee is listed on the following page.

The OWH also is deeply grateful to the following individuals for their review of the booklet: Joanne Grossman of MCP Hahnemann University, Victoria Harden of the National Institutes of Health, Suzanne Junod of the Food and Drug Administration, Deborah Maiese of the Health Resources and Services Administration, Jonelle Rowe of the DHHS Office on Women’s Health, Ulonda Shamwell of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Marcelle Steinbakken of the Food and Drug Administration, and Carol Weisman of the University of Michigan. OWH is extremely fortunate to have worked with all these outstanding individuals and is deeply appreciative to each of them for their important contributions.
