ACROSS AMERICA — March is National Women’s History Month, an annual observance recognizing the contributions of women to events in history and contemporary society.
The 2024 Women’s History Month observance, highlighted by International Women’s Day on March 8, celebrates “Women Who Advocate for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion.”
These women are in every community in America, from small villages to sprawling metropolitan areas. They come from every background. Their contributions to a positive future for all women are sometimes celebrated, but often unsung.
