Women’s History Month
We’re celebrating five women’s stories that deserve more attention 💜
This post is inspired by the online exhibit, Becoming Visible, presented by the Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum and narrated by Rosario Dawson. The project explores women’s stories that have been “excluded, erased, obscured, forgotten, and almost lost.”
