In honor of Women’s History Month, we will highlight stories of innovative and courageous women who have worked for intersectional freedoms and equal rights throughout history. We will see primary sources from the museum’s teaching collections and explore the museum’s exhibitions, focusing on empowered women who forged paths to justice. From leading boycotts, sit-ins, marches, and meetings, to singing or speaking publicly, women’s voices were often not amplified as loudly as male leaders but were nevertheless influential. We will hear music and perspectives of women who impacted the world by fighting for Disability rights, Women’s rights, LGBTQIA+ rights, Laborers’ rights, and rights for African Americans and people of Color. As we share approaches to teach and illuminate narratives of these phenomenal changemakers, we will connect past to present and remember the ways brave women from history inspire us to be catalysts for change today.
