Celebrate Women's History Month at Georgia State
Georgia State is honoring and celebrating the achievements of women throughout history with events this March marking Women's History Month.

The month recognizes progress and contributions of women to society, including the leadership and advocacy of women from all backgrounds to important movements for equality, justice and health.
