Celebrating Women’s History All Year Long

Women’s History Month is an opportunity to celebrate the important contributions of women in the past, present, and those leading us into the future. This recognition is important because in white supremacy culture, a patriarchal system is set up to de-value the work, contributions, and inherent humanity of women in addition to leveraging power and control over women in every aspect of our lives. Moreover, because white supremacy culture is based on the core belief of white superiority (both racially and culturally), the most impacted women are Black Women, Indigenous Women, and Women of the Global Majority. More still, are women who do not conform to the imposed gender binary within white supremacy culture. To be clear, when I say WOMEN, that includes both cis and trans women.
