Women's History Month 2003 poster

The theme for National Women's History Month, March 2003, is Women Pioneering the Future. With this theme, we honor pioneering women who led and won struggles for equality and civil rights; created and advanced educational and professional opportunities; and made great contributions to the arts, sciences, and humanistic causes.

The National Women's History Project (NWHP) has selected women exemplary of the many women who inspire us. We are honored to introduce these women who serve as role models in pioneering our future by wholeheartedly meeting challenges in their present.

International Women's Day - March 8 2003

International Women's Day poster

International Women's Day is the story of ordinary women as makers of history; it is rooted in the centuries-old struggle of women to participate in society on an equal footing with men. In ancient Greece, Lysistrata initiated a sexual strike against men in order to end war; during the French Revolution, Parisian women calling for "liberty, equality, fraternity" marched on Versailles to demand women's suffrage.
