It’s Women’s History Month! (Odd that this celebration is in March, which was named for Mars, the Roman god of war.) The 2017 theme: “Honoring Trailblazing Women in Labor and Business”. Your library has many materials recounting significant moments in women’s history and the contributions of great leaders who helped advance the rights and opportunities for women. One highly recommended video: “Iron Jawed Angels” with Hilary Swank.
Also this month is Spring Break, which is a U.S. phenomenon and an academic tradition that started during the 1930s. Big ideas offered by your Library especially for you and yours during the period.
