Women’s History Month 2023 resources
March is Women’s History Month!
The NYC DOE writes that Women’s History Month “serves as a time to honor the achievements and contributions that women of all backgrounds have made throughout the history of the United States, both by remembering those who paved the way in the struggle for gender equity in the United States, and by recognizing the history-makers and barrier breakers of today.” In 2023, the theme for Women’s History Month is “Celebrating Women Who Tell Our Stories,” which “honors women in every community who have devoted their lives and talents to producing art, pursuing truth, and reflecting the human condition decade after decade.” The theme of International Women’s Day 2023, which takes place on March 8 each year, is “Embrace Equity.”
In this spirit, below please find some resource to learn more about different women’s stories.
