Celebrating Women's History Month and International Women's Day
Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day provide an opportunity to both celebrate historical contributions and consider the issues and obstacles to true equity today and tomorrow. This year’s Women’s History Month theme, “Women Providing Healing, Promoting Hope,” recognizes the central role women have served in frontline jobs and caregiver roles throughout history and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
“Break the Bias” is this year's International Women's Day theme (celebrated March 8th). To mark these occasions, we have created a Women’s History Month website with a collection of free-to-access journal articles and resources from across SAGE. Below is a small selection from the site:
