Every year, from March 1 to March 31, the Copyright Alliance is proud to join so many outstanding organizations in celebrating Women’s History Month—including the Library of Congress, the National Archives and Records Administration, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the National Gallery of Art, the National Park Service, the Smithsonian, and the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum (and many more!)
Copyright Alliance Celebrates Women’s History Month 2024
This year’s theme is Women Who Advocate for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion., which “recognizes women throughout the country who understand that, for a positive future, we need to eliminate bias and discrimination entirely from our lives and institutions (National Women’s History Alliance).” Join us in celebrating our woman-identifying creators and their works which reflect the stories of themselves and others!
As the celebration gets underway, be sure to check out the blogs, articles, highlights, and events below to further explore the importance of celebrating women and their contributions throughout history!
