Women's History Month
March is Women’s History Month, a time to celebrate women and their contributions to the world. It's a time to reflect on how far gender equality has come, how far we have left to go, and strategize on how to make a more equal future. So Pardee is shining a spotlight on women's history as the history of business, management, labor, economics, and myriad other fields with these fascinating titles from our collection.
This year's theme is "Moving Forward Together! Women Educating & Inspiring Generations". Consider the women mentors you have had, and what they have taught you. This Women's History Month focuses on the strength and influence of women in mentorship, education, and leadership -- past, present, and on the rise. These titles draw attention to scholars, CEOs, philanthropists, organizers, and everyday working women who inspired transformations in our society.
