  • DID YOU KNOW? The National Women’s History Alliance, which spearheaded the movement for March to be declared National Women’s History Month, has announced the women’s history theme for 2025, “Moving Forward Together! Women Educating & Inspiring Generations.”

    This theme celebrates the collective strength and influence of women who have dedicated their lives to education, mentorship, and leadership. Through their efforts, they have served as an inspiration for all generations — both past and present. | Learn more at nationalwomenshistoryalliance.org
