Still looking for a way to celebrate? Here are 10 fun ideas to make this month both enjoyable and impactful (# 9 is my favorite):

1. Host a Women’s Film Festival: Celebrate the achievements of women in film by hosting a movie marathon featuring films directed by women, documentaries about influential women in history, or movies that center on strong female protagonists. Invite friends and family, and after each film, discuss its themes and the contributions of women to the cinematic world.
2. Read Books by Female Authors: Organize a book club focused on works by female authors from various backgrounds and genres. This is an enlightening way to explore different perspectives and celebrate the literary contributions of women.
3. Attend Workshops and Talks: Many organizations and educational institutions host workshops, talks, and panel discussions during National Women’s Month. These events provide valuable insights into women’s issues, achievements, and contributions to society. Taking part in these events is both educational and inspiring.
4. Support Women-Owned Businesses: Make a conscious effort to purchase from local and online stores owned by women. Supporting women entrepreneurs is a direct way to celebrate National Women’s Month and contribute to the economic empowerment of women.

Whether it’s helping at a local women’s shelter or participating in a fundraiser for women’s health research, your time and effort can make a significant difference.
7. Create Art Inspired by Influential Women: If you’re artistically inclined, create artwork that celebrates influential women–a painting, sculpture, digital art, or any other form of creative expression that honors women’s contributions and achievements.
