On the Times op-ed page, journalist/First Lady Maria Shriver defends her role in pushing the California State History Museum to become the California Women's History Museum. She says she's happy at least that everyone is talking about it.
You might be surprised that I am delighted, given that many of the articles and letters to the editor have been critical of my role in this undertaking — suggesting that I might be trying to "shut out" men from California's history, or implying that I am involved in some sinister power grab at a flourishing history museum.Those things are not true, but I remain delighted at the talk. That's because people are finally discussing the role of women in shaping this state...
At least three members of the museum board have resigned, saying that Shriver has hijacked the Sacramento institution's intent.
