The Significance of Women’s
History Month
As of today, the strides the women of the past have made have
positively impacted women of today . However, people think
there is still more work to do. Sophomore Trista White believes so.
"Yes, even though we are getting some recognition, we are far
from where we should be,” White said. “We need to constantly
improve”.
Others also believe that the month deserves more attention from
the world. They believe that is extremely crucial for people to
learn about the adversity that women faced back then and even
now.
Sophomore Tyricq Lewis believes so too, especially for young men
in society to educate themselves on the topic of women’s history.

with so much, this [Women’s History Month] is a big deal for us to
learn about so we can do our part,” Lewis said. “We need to step
up.

In conclusion, as a society, we cannot deny the strides that
women all over have had in order to make the world better. From
celebrities, politicians, to women in Alton High like Dorothy
Mosby and Tami Williams, their influence is felt throughout. What
we can learn from this month is to always fight and strive for
equal rights for all people.
