Women’s History Month makes me stop and think. Sometimes life moves fast and you don’t stop and smell the roses. For me, those roses are recognizing the hard work and sacrifice of generations of women before me, right now and after me.

This month, we’d like to recognize Women’s History Month. This serves as a chance to commemorate the vital part women played in American history. What once started as a Women’s History Week in 1982, Congress eventually passed resolutions to expand this celebration to the entire month of March.

Here are a few ways that you can celebrate in the Milwaukee area

This year’s theme as determined by the National Women’s History Alliance is ​​”Celebrating Women Who Tell Our Stories.” Check out these local happenings.
  • Milwaukee Film will be showing films at the Oriental Theater inspired by the theme “Woman is not a Genre”

  • The Women’s Fund of Greater Milwaukee is hosting multiple events from celebrating National Women’s Day on March 8th to a community book read on the 28th

  • Learn about some of the historic women who helped shape Milwaukee into what it is today
