Women’s History Month is a celebration of women’s contributions to history, culture, and society and has been celebrated in the United States during the month of March since 1987. In observance of the month, the Tufts Employer Relations team wanted to share some resources on ways to incorporate the month into office environments and provide additional information on gender equality in the workplace.
