CELEBRATING INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY!
International Women's Day (8 March) is a global day celebrating the
social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day
also marks a call to action for accelerating women's equality.
International Women's Day (IWD) has occurred for well over a century,
with the first IWD gathering in 1911 supported by over a million people.
Today, IWD belongs to all groups collectively everywhere. IWD is not
country, group or organization specific.''

put her in the same category.
Making Waves Display
Making Waves: Women have, over the past 300 and more years, made
enormous strides in establishing for themselves a place of their own in
the world, achieving legal and political equality throughout much of the
globe. A great deal of this success has derived from the power and
insight lent by the rise and ongoing evolution of Feminism. THIS EXHIBIT
chronicles the historical contributions of Feminism to the continuing
struggle for social justice, acknowledging the past while looking ahead
to the future of the women's movement.
