10 Reasons to Observe Women's History Month

5. Honor: To understand why we dedicate March to the women who have made historical achievements in our country is to honor them. This month gives us an opportunity to further comprehend the great steps that women have made in the past in order to establish the full freedom of women. Take advantage of this time and join others as we honor these influential characters in history.
4. Learn: This is also a great time to learn why the month is so important. Take time to notice the fliers, posters, banners and other displays on our campus that are there to inform us. Read them! Perhaps even take some time to do a little digging of your own so that you may fully understand just how important the history of women has really become.
3.Respect: Women in the past are not the only ones making history. There are women around us every day who deserve the respect highlighted by this memorializing month. In fact, many professors at ASU have made great accomplishments paved by the very women we are honoring during this month. Take a moment to show your respect to these women and appreciate what they have done and what women today are able to do as a result.
2. Inform: Not only must we learn, we must take what we learn and move forward. This month gives us a great chance to share with others. This may be as simple as starting a conversation about Women's HIstory Month at the lunch table. This could also be organizing a group to attend a seminar held in honor of this month. Do your part and pass the knowledge forward.
1. Celebrate: What is the point in having a month dedicated to something so exciting if we do not celebrate? These historical women have allowed women today make great choices and have great opportunities of their own. The freedom brought on by this history is something well worth a celebration. Take some time to enjoy this. This goes for men and women. If you are enjoying the free lives we live today, then you have cause for celebrating how we got here.
