Patricia Arquette's few words at the 2015 Academy Awards ceremony remind everyone how much remains to be done to bring gender equality to the United States - and beyond. March is Women's History Month -- celebrate by taking a look at these striking images from the struggle for women's rights, and our LaborArts exhibit about Women in the NYPD. Join us for the 104th commemoration of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire on March 25, 2015.
Women's history has gradually been incorporated into classrooms from elementary schools through universities -- but only at the insistence of activist scholars and feminists. See the Library of Congress page on Women's History Month and the National Women's History Project website for resources and activities.
