March is Women's History Month
Each March, we celebrate Women's History Month to commemorate and encourage the study, observance and celebration of the vital role of women in American history. The National Women’s History Alliance designates a theme for each year, and the 2023 theme is "Celebrating Women Who Tell Our Stories." This booklist includes stories of women who have been active in all forms of storytelling, including print, radio, stage, screen, social media and more!
