“4 Asian-American Women Who Changed History” on Teen Vogue<\/p>\n

“Representation matters, not just in Hollywood, but in our curricula and cultural consciousness. These women\u2019s stories matter. In a country where the contributions of women of color are often pushed to the sidelines, there\u2019s no time like Women\u2019s History Month to celebrate the impact Asian-American women have had on history and our lives.”<\/p>\n

“6 Women With Disabilities Who Made History” on sheknows.com<\/p>\n

“Anyone with a disability can tell you they\u2019ve faced discrimination at least once in their lives. Whether it\u2019s trying to figure out how to get into a building without adequate mobility accommodations or getting ignored on Tinder after someone finds out about your disability, there are countless systemic ways that work to make things difficult for people with disabilities and deny them the opportunities to share their talents and insights with the world. To celebrate Women\u2019s History Month, we took a look at the lives and work of a number of disabled women who left a mark on our culture as a reminder of the thanks we owe to people of all disabilities and backgrounds.”<\/p>\n

36 Little-Known Women Who Changed History \u2014 Women’s Firsts<\/a><\/p>\n

“Women’s History Month comes and goes every March, but what’s lasting is our support for women 365 days of the year. While the annual celebration gives us a chance to amplify the work and achievements of phenomenal women (both well-known and those who keep us going in our personal lives), it’s also important to remember to honor female role models everyday\u2014no matter the time of year. Looking back to history’s heroines is one way to do so, as we reflect on the milestones of names like Wilma Mankiller, Florence Griffith Joyner, and Marie Curie, who were responsible for so many women’s firsts. We also salute the lesser-known titans of entertainment, science, sports, politics, and beyond, whose impact can still be felt today.”<\/p>\n

“Girls to Know: The Next Generation is Already Leading the Way” on UNWomen.org<\/p>\n

“Around the world, girls are driving change. They are activists and advocates on the front lines of movements for social and racial equality. They are calling for urgent climate action and demanding space at decision-making tables in their communities, countries and beyond…Here are just eight girls who are changing the world that you should know about.”<\/p>\n

Honor Trans Women This Women’s History Month<\/a><\/p>\n

“This Women\u2019s History Month, as always, it\u2019s important to recognize that women\u2019s rights include trans rights. You can begin by introducing your students to some of the activists and changemakers who fought\u2014and continue to fight\u2014for equal rights for all women.”<\/p>\n

“I’m A Queer Trans Woman, And Women’s History Month Erases Me From History” on Bustle.com<\/p>\n

“It’s a big deal for women, especially young women, to have the opportunity to see themselves as having a part in history, and Women’s History Month certainly has made significant strides in raising awareness of the important work that women have done, and how they’ve shaped the world throughout history. Unfortunately, Women’s History Month fails in precisely the same way that so much of mainstream feminism fails \u2014 in its exclusion of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender women from its narratives, and from the history as a whole. Though I’m a woman, my queerness and my trans-ness mean that Women’s History Month isn’t a place where I see my experiences reflected.”<\/p>\n

We’re Here Too: Transgender Visibility During Women’s History Month<\/a><\/p>\n

“Long story short, the transgender community relies on the cooperation of our cisgender allies to survive. Being misgendered or deadnamed can, quite literally, be a life or death situation. All that being said, here are three easy things you can do to be a better ally in the workplace.”<\/p>\n

Women’s History Month: Amazing Trans Women You Probably Didn’t Learn About in History Class<\/a><\/p>\n

“The 2019 Women\u2019s History Month theme is ‘Visionary Women: Champions of Peace & Nonviolence.’ The theme honors \u201cwomen who have led efforts to end war, violence, and injustice and pioneered the use of nonviolence to change society.\u201d When I think of what sort of women might be on that list, some of the first ones that come to mind are people like Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera.”<\/p>\n

“Women’s History Month: An Indigenous Perspective” on FirstNations.org<\/p>\n

“March is Women\u2019s History Month that annually recognizes the contributions and events, past and present, of women in the United States. If one were to visit online sites dedicated to this matter, it would be difficult to find a link with a compilation of resources such as literature, photos or exhibits dedicated to American Indian women. Once again, we emphasize our role and presence as the first residents of this abundant land.”<\/p>\n
