To commemorate , the New York State Museum (NYSM) will honor the significant roles of women in New York State history. Throughout March, there will be numerous special programs, events, educational resources, and exhibits to honor and celebrate the diverse achievements of women, both past and present. From engaging in-person experiences to helpful online resources, visitors of all ages are invited to learn about the pivotal role women have played in shaping our State heritage.

Board of Regents Chancellor Lester W. Young, Jr. said, "Throughout the history of the United States, women and girls have made significant contributions despite facing discrimination and adversity. During Women's History Month, we recognize the brave women who fought for and earned the right to vote, advocated against injustice, broke numerous barriers, and expanded opportunities for all women and girls. Our history is also filled with inspiring examples of women who have paved the way in the recent and distant past, working tirelessly to open doors of opportunity for everyone."

State Education Commissioner Betty A. Rosa鈥痵aid, 鈥淲omen's History Month is an opportunity to celebrate the insurmountable spirit, resilience, and invaluable contributions of women throughout history, while also serving as an inspiration to the women of today to script their own narrative in the ongoing story of women鈥檚 history. This rich selection of important programs and events serve as a platform to foster a society that celebrates the achievements of women, highlights their diverse stories, and paves the way for a future where every woman鈥檚 potential is realized and celebrated.鈥澨�
