Women’s History Month is important because it shows us how far women have come. After, the years of struggling and fighting for equality. It reminds us of the constant gender barriers that we still face today. Along with continuing fighting towards equality.

Women’s History Month is important because it’s a month dedicated to honoring women, and acts as a reminder of the important roles that women have played throughout history. It doesn’t only celebrate how far we’ve come but reminds us how far we have left to go and that we are not free until all of us are free.

I love Women’s History Month because it opens my eyes to all the cool things women have accomplished that are never usually talked about. Having other women to look up to is super inspiring when thinking about all the things I could accomplish
Alexandria Wyckoff
Women’s History Month is not only a representation of feminism but an acknowledgment of those who have been forgotten in history. It makes me proud to be a woman and to have that inner strength.
Fay Khutoretsky
Women’s History Month reminds me of the need to remember and advocate for those that are disadvantaged in our society, utilizing an intersectional lens of how womanhood intersects with other identities. It is also a time to pay homage to the women who have contributed throughout history to better us as humanity, through acts of service and scientific, philosophical, and creative advancements.
Kae Jimenez
Women’s History Month means bravery. It means highlighting the efforts of the women who have contributed to the movement of society. It means celebrating all women. Every day should be Women’s History Month. We work and through so much, from patriarchy to sexual discrimination women are constantly oppressed. This month acknowledges all our hard work and represents power. Women are very powerful and because of us, we have many scientific innovations that helped unify the world.
Riley Eipp
Women’s History Month reminds me that even when it may feel like the fight for women’s rights, freedoms, and justice in society is only making little progress, we have come so far as a marginalized group throughout history. It reminds me to appreciate the amazing women that have given us the privileges that we have today, and this month inspires me to make change and advocate for all of the other women in my life.
