We must also actively acknowledge that the same systems that have diminished the accomplishments of women throughout history have diminished the stories of all communities who experience gender marginalization.

This year's theme is Creating Our Feminist Future. Please submit potential programs for our Herstory Month calendar here by February 1st! Thank you!
