March is Women’s History Month, a time to recognize all the contributions women have made to our world. Women’s History Month acknowledges that for most of American history women have not enjoyed the same rights and privileges as men and that this is still the case in many parts of the world. It’s also a time when many people choose to engage in additional advocacy work for surrounding contemporary women’s issues. We’ve compiled a list of ways to help get you started celebrating, learning, and participating in advocacy work this March.
