News release from Purdue Fort Wayne announcing Women’s History Month:<\/p>\n

Women\u2019s History Month at Purdue University Fort Wayne celebrates \u2018Women Refusing to Be Silenced\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Fort Wayne, Indiana (March 1, 2021) \u2014 Women\u2019s History Month began as a one-day observance on Feb. 28, 1909, in honor of the one-year anniversary of a garment workers\u2019 strike that saw 15,000 women march through the streets of New York City to demand economic and political rights.<\/p>\n

In 1978, an education task force in Santa Rosa, California, began a \u201cWomen\u2019s History Week\u201d celebration on March 8.<\/p>\n

In February 1980, President Jimmy Carter issued a proclamation designating the week of March 8, 1980, as National Women\u2019s History Week; and finally, in 1987, the entire month of March was declared National Women\u2019s History Month when Congress passed Public Law 100-9.<\/p>\n

Purdue University Fort Wayne is proud to be celebrating this year\u2019s Women\u2019s History Month with the theme \u201cWomen Refusing to be Silenced,\u201d which comes from the national theme, \u201cValiant Women of the Vote: Refusing to Be Silenced.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWomen\u2019s History Month is not only an opportunity for reflecting upon and celebrating women\u2019s accomplishments,\u201d said Janet Badia, Ph.D., director of the university\u2019s Women\u2019s Studies program. \u201cIt\u2019s also a political gesture: the very existence of the month asks us to consider the construction of history\u2014for example, who has written it and who has been written out of it\u2014and why it\u2019s even necessary to designate a special month to women\u2019s history, lives, and experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n

MarTeze Hammonds, Ed.D., Purdue Fort Wayne\u2019s chief diversity officer, believes the university’s observance of Women’s History Month helps many better realize the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion on campus and beyond.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we become more culturally competent, learning about the many different cultures that make up this great society, we can become more culturally confident in taking actions to mitigate and eliminate unconscious biases and systemic barriers that preclude equity for all,” Hammonds said. “Women\u2019s History Month is a time to LEARN about the many contributions of women, to GROW our individual selves, and to ACT through intentional work that leads to closing gaps, providing access, and celebrating the success of women.\u201d<\/p>\n

As the student outreach coordinator with the Center for Women and Returning Adults, Cicelle Beemon has led the charge to offer a variety of events throughout March dedicated to understanding women\u2019s history.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur goal in celebrating Women’s History Month is to uplift the voices of the women from our past and present and to empower everyone, from all walks of life, to use their voices to create a better future,\u201d said Beemon.<\/p>\n

Those who attend the events will learn about the intersectionality of women and Blackness; dive into the world of women and writing; explore the meaning and shattering of the glass ceiling; and enjoy a screening of the Academy Award-nominated documentary film RGB.<\/p>\n
