The Associated Students of Riverside Community College District proudly celebrate
Women’s Empowerment Week: March 22-26.
MONDAY, MARCH 22 – CELEBRATION OF WOMEN VIRTUAL EXHIBIT
Start the week by viewing the “Girlhood (Its complicated)” Exhibit through the Smithsonian National Museum of American History. Girlhood (It’s complicated) commemorates the anniversary of woman suffrage by exploring the concept of girlhood in the United States, but also how girls changed history in five areas: politics, education, work, health, and fashion. We argue that girlhood has an unexpected and complicated history and that girls, like suffragists, used their voices to make a difference.
