Starting today and throughout March, we highlight Women's History Month. Additionally, we feature the scholarly work of one of our esteemed faculty members, Dr. Ather Zia. Organized by the school district of Sonoma, California, in 1978, Women's History Month was created to reshape American patriarchal history that largely neglected women's achievements. As we recognize Women's History Month, try to learn more about pioneering women, explore unfamiliar women like and the profound influence she had, and seek out data that reveals today's . Self-work (educating oneself), questioning conventional paradigms, and self-change disrupt the social norms that define women as inferior; therefore, discrimination, disregard, control, oppression, exploitation, and violence of women must be eliminated.

As we celebrate this year's national theme, "," we renew the celebration of Women's suffrage. Colorado was to grant full women's suffrage in 1893. The movement for national suffrage continued, leading to the ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920 that declared all women, like men, deserve the rights and responsibilities of citizenship.

Today, our campus is fortunate to have Dr. Ather Zia, who serves as a beacon for feminism worldwide. Dr. Zia teaches multiple courses on campus in the areas of Anthropology, Gender Studies, Humanities, and Social Sciences. Additionally, Dr. Zia is an award-winning author and manages student-centered webzines such as PUGS. This week, we were graced with a few remarks by Dr. Zia:

On the importance of Women's History Month

Dr. Zia: "The importance of Women's History month is the sheer beauty of making women's voices central. Women's voices have been made secondary in society, and this month reminds us to not just focus on them but to foreground them. In a modern world, getting the right to vote is akin to getting one's voice heard in whatever measure; being part of creating a political structure is crucial and attaining that through voting, and actual participation as political activists is an important milestone."

On how the 甜心视频app community can contribute to Women's History month

Dr. Zia: "Training our students well so that they become agents of social and political change who raise their voices for just causes including gender equality and equity is our priority. Faculty research that understands the nature of gender, not just regionally but internationally and cross-culturally, and talking about it and amplifying the message is how we can do it. Also to contribute to national and local debates and action research."
