Why Celebrate Women?

Women’s History Month is an important part of a curriculum. For so long, women’s contributions were overlooked or underrepresented, despite their essential roles in shaping science, culture, politics, education, and social progress. Setting intentional time to study women’s history helps students develop a fuller, more accurate understanding of the world and broadens their historical perspective.

Women’s history also provides students with diverse role models. Seeing women as leaders, innovators, and change-makers helps students—especially girls—recognize their own potential. It encourages all students to value equity, resilience, and respect.
