“Every woman’s success should be an inspiration to another. We’re strongest when we cheer each other on.” - Serena Williams

     During the month of March, we highlight the celebration of Women’s History Month. This year's Women’s History Month theme is, “Women who advocate for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion.” Women of the nation are honored for their contributions to History and celebrate their contributions and roles in society. 

     This month honors women activists and leaders who fought for change. It is intriguing and significant to learn about the women who participated in fighting for a meaningful cause. Some examples of these significant women are Sojourner Truth, Susan B. Anthony, Harriet Tubman, Frida Kahlo and along with many other great women activists.

Women are a big aspect and contribution to society, but too often women are undervalued and overlooked. This month brings awareness to the suffering women have endured and had to overcome. It is a time for women to be inspired by themselves and other women. It is important for women to share their stories and struggles of gender equality, to help pave the way for future generations of women. 

Truth

I believe the celebration of this Month deserves more attention and awareness. The roles women are given by society, often put women in a subjective box. The women who are honored during Women’s History Month step out of this box and invest in their roles in society. As a young woman, I admire women who have contributed to history and society. Honoring phenomenal women brings hope that there will be many more to come. So for the month of March we honor all phenomenal women for all they do!

     After an interview with a TSU student about Women’s History Month, I was able to get insight on what Women’s History Month can means to others. Satoria North, a current Biology major, was thoughtful in her consderationof the importance of Women’s History Month. 

    “Women’s History Month is inspirational to women, and for the future generations of women to come," North said. "I think it is important for Women to celebrate their accomplishments and empowerment, considering that it is often over looked by male dominant culture." 

    North discussed the categories that undermine women. She also pointed out that is important to celebrate the diversity of the lived experience of womanhood.  "Overall, Women’s History Month is very significant and influential," North said.  "I believe it servers a great purpose to honoring women for their brave actions to change narratives of society.”

“Women should be celebrated every day, but a month dedicated to female empowerment is extremely special. It doesn’t just honor the iconic women who have changed history, but encourages new generations to dream big and know that anything is possible.” - Molly Mccook
