Resources

Commission on the Status of Women.
The Florida Department of Health Women’s Health
Program
In 2004, Florida passed legislation establishing
the Department of Health Officer of Women's
Health Strategy with the charge to direct public
policy to address the distinct health needs of
women across the life span. The Women’s Health
Program has adopted a new overarching theme of
health literacy, which is defined as “the
ability to understand and act appropriately on
health information.” The theme of health
literacy will be used to strengthen
collaborative relationships within the
Department of Health, external partners,
including other state agencies. One such state
entity is the Florida State Library System
within the Department of State (DOS).

Although the glass ceiling is still intact, it’s
definitely showing some cracks! And with each
crack, women are gaining a stronger foothold in
territories that historically have been
dominated by men. While there is no doubt that
women can survive and even thrive at the top,
there are some who become ensnared by it over
time and their struggle to break free leaves
them feeling exhausted, unproductive, and
hopeless. Is this you? Are you one of
these bright, ambitious, and highly driven women
feeling unappreciated, stressed, and burned out?
If so, you've come to the right place!
Ten
at the Top in Tampa Bay
This website highlights a documentary film
that celebrates an unprecedented time in the
city of Tampa/Hillsborough County area---where
10 extraordinary women headed governmental
institutions, in positions traditionally held by
men. The women who agreed to be filmed tell of
the paths they traveled, the risks they took,
the decisions they made, and who helped them
along the way as they climbed their respective
ladders of success. A cornerstone to the film is
that it serves as a mentoring tool for young
girls who may not realize that they too can
reach such high echelons of public service.
The
Florida Commission on Human Relations
The Florida Commission on Human Relations
serves as a resource in addressing and resolving
discrimination issues which impact each and
every one of us.
