The United States Congress and the State of New Jersey traditionally have designated March as Women's History Month. Montclair State University joins in this tribute and celebration by acknowledging the many accomplishments that women of diverse racial, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds have made in our society.
Women have a very rich and inspiring history in our country.
They have been in the forefront of social movements for women's suffrage and civil rights, and they have played an extraordinary role in our social, cultural, economic, and intellectual development. Nevertheless, the struggle continues as they seek full equality in the workplace, in the public sphere, and in their economic lives. At Montclair State University, women have provided our campus community with invaluable leadership and intellectual achievements. During this month, we make special efforts to inform ourselves and others about the history of women's struggle for equal rights, and we reaffirm our commitment to provide them with equal educational and employment opportunities.
