Each year in March, Women's History Month shines a spotlight on the many contributions women have made across various fields and industries. The month offers a chance to recognize the extraordinary women who have made lasting impacts on history, while also highlighting the ongoing fight for gender equality.
Women’s Voices
"Being a woman means embracing my identity and affirming it by using my voice. I can strive for more, exude confidence, earn respect, and fully embrace who I am because no one can diminish my essence, despite the changes my body undergoes over time. Women are a powerful force, and we are the architects of what makes greatness in nations. "
Gabby Douthit, student and PTK member
