Women’s History Month for Kids

Introducing Children to Women’s History Month.

March is Women’s History Month, and not just because of International Women’s Day which falls on the 8th of March. Starting in 1978 as a “Women’s History Week” in Sonoma County, California, the observation that aimed to highlight the contributions of women throughout history quickly spread internationally. On behalf of the National Women’s History Project in 1987, Congress turned it from a week to a month. And, while there’s a number of ways adults honor this month, it’s even more important to consider how to celebrate women’s history month for kids.

Kids should learn about the brave and brilliant women in history who shaped our society and contributed to many scientific discoveries without which, it’s hard to imagine the world we live in today. Should learning be done exclusively through textbooks? Definitely, not!

Stay with us and keep reading, to see many different ways in which you can celebrate women’s history month for kids. We’ll take a look at different activities, teaching resources, worksheets, picture books, novels, and inspirational Ted Talks that have the power to touch upon some of the most vital issues that women face today.
