“Every woman’s success should be an inspiration to another. We’re strongest when we cheer each other on.” – Serena Williams, professional American tennis player
March is Women’s History Month, a time to honor the vital contributions of women throughout history. Women’s achievements are woven into the fabric of our shared human story, and this month provides an opportunity to reflect on their impact.
In 2025, the National Women’s History Alliance (NWHA) proudly presents the theme: “Moving Forward Together! Women Educating & Inspiring Generations.” This theme recognizes the invaluable role of women as educators, mentors, and leaders who have shaped minds and influenced generations. From teachers in classrooms to advocates in boardrooms, women have been powerful agents of change. Their dedication to fostering knowledge, equality, and inclusion continues to inspire individuals and communities worldwide.
Education has long been a driving force for progress, and women have played a crucial role in advancing this cause. Whether teaching in schools, mentoring youth, or leading global initiatives, women educators and leaders empower others to grow, learn, and thrive. By celebrating these contributions, we acknowledge their role in creating a more inclusive and equitable society.
Libraries play a key part in celebrating and preserving women’s stories. Visit your library this month to explore inspiring books, documentaries, and biographies that highlight the achievements of influential women. From civil rights leaders like Rosa Parks to groundbreaking scientists, artists, and educators, these stories demonstrate the strength and resilience of women throughout history. “You must never be fearful about what you are doing when it is right.” – Rosa Parks, civil rights activist
