National Women’s History Month Project 2008

2008 Theme
Women's Art Women's Vision

To honor the originality, beauty, imagination, and multiple dimensions of women’s lives, we have chosen Women’s Art: Women’s Vision as the theme for the 2008 National Women’s History Month.

This is the story of amazing women's accomplishments that were acclaimed at the time but eventually ignored by history. Join us in ensuring that their achievements are never forgotten.

This year’s theme provides a special opportunity to discover and celebrate women’s visual arts in a variety of forms and mediums that help expand our perceptions of ourselves and each other.
