Friday, March 25 | Women’s History Month

While it seems like yesterday we were announcing the start of women’s history month; We must say farewell to another monthly acknowledgment. While the celebration of women’s history month has come and gone, we should not stop acknowledging and highlighting the essential contributions of women. We must pay attention to the barriers women have overcome and their achievements. So, for this week’s spotlight, here are three ways you can continue to honor Women’s history long after March has passed.

1. Sign up for Oasis classes about women’s history:

Women’s history is American history. However, the perspectives of women are so often erased from the conversation. Seeking out Women’s history to learn about the critical roles women have played in our society is a great way to honor women’s legacy.

2. Engage with literature that shows a variety of women’s perspectives:

The history of the women’s movement is complex. While it has been crucial in contributing to women’s rights, a valid critique of Feminism is its historical tendency to leave certain women out of the conversation. Reading about the myriad lived experiences of women can help us create space for the previously excluded women.​2. Engage with literature that shows a variety of women’s perspectives:
