"Women’s History is inextricably linked to American history, as women of all backgrounds have made incredible contributions to the advancement of our nation. In collaboration with the National Women’s History Project, we encourage reflection on the theme: “Our History is Our Strength”.  In that vein, we invite graduate students, undergraduate students and IU staff to select one or more women that they consider to be leaders and explain how their lives and achievements are important in helping our generation to better face the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for us as a global society. Women as well as men of all backgrounds are encouraged to participate."- Excepted from the National Women's History Month Project

In 1984 Congress declared March as National Women's History Month in perpetuity. A Presidential Proclamation is issued every year which honors the achievements of American women. In addition to the OWA Women's History Month Essay Contest, the Women In Science Research Day Conference and the Office for Women's Affairs Quiz Bowl, we will be highlighting famous female alumni from IU and posting the latest edition of Majority Report, our annual newsletter. Check back throughout the month of March for new surprises!
