MAKING HISTORY

“The feminist movement of the ’60s and ’70s reminded the world that women have always played important historical roles, despite often being overlooked,” reads a 2021 article by Stacker. “Women’s History Month in March and the commemoration of International Women’s Day on March 8 allow us to celebrate the strides women have made across social, economic, political and cultural spectrums. Observing milestones in women's history also reminds us of the steps still required to achieve true gender equality... Women have left marks on everything from entertainment and music to space exploration, athletics and technology.” Find out what milestone in women’s history was achieved in your birth year.
