Women’s History Month – Complimentary Soaps with Each Batik Classes!

An important time to celebrate and learn, Women’s History Month offers a peek into the past, in order to remember the plight of women so that everyone in society can keep moving forward.

This month, it’s time to enjoy and appreciate the women in history who have worked so hard to try to assure that modern women are treated fairly and with equal access and privileges. Get ready to celebrate Women’s History Month!

The large majority of ancient cultures were patriarchal and they often practiced customs that tended to hold women in low esteem and limited their freedom. Through the centuries, many courageous women have stepped forward to fight inequality and to champion these causes for the benefit of society and the women of the future. Their work to break down barriers and walls has allowed future generations of women to pass through with less resistance. Women’s History Month honors these women.

While not yet official all over the world, some of the earliest traces of this movement toward equality for women began in the early 1900s when unrest and debate was occurring over the inequality and oppression of women. Originally, many of the gatherings and celebrations for women occurred in February, but they later migrated to March, which is now considered Women’s History Month.

Even after women earned the right to vote in many Western countries in the early 1900s, women were certainly still not experiencing equality. Following their work and dedication during World War II, many women were unsatisfied with the idea of going back to donning their aprons at home. They wanted more and many of them began to say so.

In 1975, the United Nations officially recognized International Women’s Day. Women’s History Week is a progression of that and Women’s History Month is an even further extension. Throughout the month, various community events, internet blog series, television presentations and entertainment specials will be staged to look back on women’s achievements, to celebrate the progress made by women around the world, and to remember that there is still work to be done.

How to Celebrate Women’s History Month

Some suggestions for individual celebrations of Women’s History Month include:

Learn About Women’s History Through Books

Women’s History Month is a great time to learn about different women of the past who have fought hard for the changes that modern people now enjoy. Read a biography about a female pioneer. Perhaps choose Amelia Earhart, one of the first ladies of aviation, paving the way for women in the flight industry, or about women’s movement origins.

Share with Others About Women’s History

One of the most important things about Women’s History Month is the collaboration that can be found when people work together for a cause, as seen in the women’s suffrage movements. Take this month to share thoughts and discussions with others about how everyone can support the cause.

Get a book club together to read one of the books above, or post a link about a most-admired woman in history on various social media outlets. Whatever way it is celebrated, Women’s History Month is the perfect reminder to get active in the plight of women all over the world.
