CELEBRATING WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH

By Mary Jeneverre Schultz

March is all about women! This is the month we celebrate Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day. This month celebrates women for all their contributions – many who continue to work in male-dominated spaces and often for less pay.

Since 1909, International Women’s Day has been celebrated on March 8. Devoted to celebrating the achievements of women, it reminds us to give women a greater voice to further their demands for equal rights.

Universities around Colorado are offering panel discussions, leadership symposiums and gender conferences to raise awareness about the achievements of International Women’s Day. Government entities, nonprofits, and organizations in partnership with media and corporations throughout Asia are celebrating this day to showcase the contributions of women in technology and digital spaces.

In this issue, Asian Avenue magazine shares the perspectives of talented and courageous Asian American women in Colorado, who are impacting the sectors they work in. The diversity in their ethnic backgrounds, passions and interests, as well as their career paths show that women really can do it all!
