Celebrating Women's History Month 2025!

Each year, the National Women’s History Alliance (NWHA) establishes the theme for Women's History Month during the month of March. For 2025, they proudly present the theme “Moving Forward Together! Women Educating & Inspiring Generations.”

This theme celebrates the collective strength and influence of women who have dedicated their lives to education, mentorship, and leadership. Through their efforts, they have served as an inspiration for all generations — both past and present.

From classrooms to boardrooms, and from grassroots movements to global initiatives, women educators and leaders have played a pivotal role in nurturing minds and inspiring transformative action.
