Women’s History Month

It's Women's History Month, and the Oakland History Center is recognizing the achievements of Oakland women.

 

Women have long collaborated with one another to get things done, well before they had the right to vote or other basic rights. Since the earliest decades of our city's formation, women have been carving out spaces to gather, to educate, and to organize for the future of our communities.
