Celebrate Women’s History Month with Rowan-Cabarrus
March 15 - April 9
Women’s History Month celebrates women’s contributions to history, culture, and society. It has been observed annually in March in the United States since 1987.
Women’s History Month is dedicated to reflecting on the often overlooked contributions of women to United States history. From Abigail Adams to Susan B. Anthony, Sojourner Truth to Rosa Parks, the timeline of women’s history stretches back to the founding of the United States.
The 2024 theme for Women’s History Month (as chosen by the National Women’s History Alliance) is “Women Who Advocate for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion.” This theme recognizes women throughout the country who understand that, for a positive future, we need to eliminate bias and discrimination from our lives and institutions. Women from every background have long realized that an uneven playing field will never bring equality or justice. In 2024, we will recognize the example of women who are committed to embracing everyone and excluding no one in our common quest for freedom and opportunity. They know that people change with the help of families, teachers, and friends and that young people, in particular, need to learn the value of hearing from different voices with different points of view as they grow up.
Explore the Library’s collections of women’s voices and stories and learn about our brave history.
Women at Rowan-Cabarrus Community College
Women make up more than half of our student body today, but that wasn’t always the case. When the College opened in 1963, no women were enrolled. One by one, women chose programs at what was then Rowan Technical Institute and forged paths for the generations of students that have come since.
Watch this video to learn about some women who were first in their programs at “The Tech.”
