Women's History Month by Karen L. Shaup March is Women's History Month. It is not enough to recognize the struggles and the marginalization of women in the past because it is equally important to work to stop oppression in today's society.
History is a living and growing entity.
Make a list of the ways gender stereotypes are expressed and enforced in society. Come to the Women's Center Open Mic on Tuesday, March 20 at 9 pm in Laura's Coffeehouse. Take a moment of silence for every 1.3 women who are raped per minute. Turn off your tv. Commercials that promote beauty products and shows that glorify violence upon women enforce stereotypes and perpetuate violence.
