Women's History Month 2021
March is Women's History Month!
A variety of activities are planned at El Camino College to celebrate Women's History
Month throughout March. All are welcome to attend!
This year’s National Women’s History Month theme is “Valiant Women of the Vote Refuse to Be Silenced." The theme celebrates the women who have fought for a woman’s right to vote in the United States. In recognition of the centennial of the 19th Amendment, we will honor women who have continued the struggle (fighting against poll taxes, literacy tests, voter roll purges, and other more contemporary forms of voter suppression) to ensure voting rights for all.
