Women’s History Month takes place each March, as a way to pay tribute to the contributions made by women to society. All women deserve the same recognition that is more freely granted to men, and young girls deserve to have inspirational role models honoured for their actions and achievements. So throughout March, join us for a her-story lesson, and learn something new about women’s history.
