How did you celebrate? Who did you celebrate with? Did you realize anything? etc. These are just a few questions to get you started but feel free to write about anything related to the topic :)
To me Women's History Month is a time to celebrate the achievements of women through history, reflect on how far we have come in terms of women's rights and equality and continue to advocate and fight for women's rights and gender equality. Throughout history, women have done some incredible things, yet these accomplishments tend to be glossed over by our history books. Women's history month is a time to learn about many diverse women in history and their stellar accomplishments. Additionally, Women's History Month is also a time to fight for gender equality, as women are still underrepresented in many fields and paid less than men. Throughout Women's History Month, I learned about many women, such as Jeannette Pickering Rankin, Marsha Hughes Cannon, Chien-Shiung Wu, Masha P. Johnson, and many others.
Personally, I think Women's History Month represents how far advocation for women's rights has come within the last century, as well as how we still have a long way to go. For me, Women's History Month is a time to honor the achievements and sacrifices of all those that came before us, appreciating how they have paved the way for future generations of young women. It's also a time to reflect on how we can continue fighting for change and women's rights, the work that's ahead of us, and the future we want to have.
In my opinion, Women's History Month symbolizes a dedicated time frame in which we can highlight and appreciate impactful contributions made by women to society. Even though we have progressed immensely in observing the accomplishments of women, we still have a long way to go. For example, this includes the representation of notable women in the education system, the government, athletics, justice, and more. In addition, from a young age, we are not taught about many groundbreaking females such as Grace Abbot, Martha Hughes Cannon, Bessie Coleman, and Gertrude Ederle among others. Moreover, during this time of the year, we are able to recognize and learn about gender-specific stereotypes and realize how society continues to define a normal state of reality. By spreading activism and awareness, we can educate others on the evident impending issue of women's rights and representation. Also, by breaking those boundaries and continuing to make meaningful strides, we can challenge current expectations. Through March, I have been exposed to the stories and journeys of true female trailblazers and it has been an amazing experience.
From fighting for our basic rights to leading companies, women have always been trailblazers, so Women's History to me is about appreciating the women in my life, the women who inspire me every day, and the amazing but overlooked women we don't learn about. Women's History is a crucial part of our country, planet, and society, however, it is often marginalized and overlooked. Without adequate representation in textbooks and education or even constitutional rights, women face discrimination every day. Women's History Month is a month where women's contributions are highlighted and intersectional feminism is promoted as much as possible. Often only straight white cishet women are the frontline of women's history, but in the month of March, and through various initiatives, we are finally able to highlight the importance, contributions, and equal impact of women of color, lgbtqia+ women, gender-fluid women, and all women! With the amount of discrimination and sexism women face even today, Women's History is a month where women can feel celebrated, appreciated, and honored, and hopefully will learn to feel that way, and make other women feel that way, throughout the entire year!
To me, women's history month is all about elevating women and telling all of their important stories, especially the ones that are often overlooked. The biggest thing women's history month has taught me is that women have such a rich and deep past that is simply neglected in education. When I was younger, I assumed that the reason almost all of the history I knew was about men was because women were too oppressed to be able to accomplish on the same level as men. However, as I've slowly learned over time and especially over this past month, this is simply untrue: women have played a huge role in several key historical events and accomplished incredible things that we just don't know about (but should). Learning about all of these untold stories and overlooked women throughout this past month has been extremely rewarding and fulfilling, and I cannot wait to celebrate with WEAR again next March!
