Read & Learn

The International Women’s Day evolved over eleven decades before the UN declared it as an official day. In recent years it serves both as a celebration of female achievements and a call to action for further gender equality. Read the full story of its development at this link.

Use the time at home to get inspired by pioneer women and read their HerStory on our website. You can filter to view women who acted in different fields as science, sport, art, politics, literature, and more. You can focus on African-American or Latina women, learn about the notable women who shaped the area close to you, or explore stories in different areas around the US.

Other than March, throughout the year, there are some special days dedicated to specific women, such as Rosa Parks Day, Susan B Anthony Day, National Black Women’s Equal Pay Day, and others. We gathered the dates, locations, and information for you here.
