Women are half the earth. Commit to making them half the story

I created this poster 3 years ago when I was feeling overwhelmed by politics. Since that time it's been my touchstone to remind myself of the tenacity of women throughout history who defied gigantic odds and refused to give up.

Women still continue to defy the odds and fight for change around the world, as evidenced by massive protests in Latin America on the International Day of the Woman.

I hope to have time to make a second version of this poster over summer break after my students uncover women from history who were change agents.

When we look back at history we learn that women rarely had the power but they powered the movements that changed the world for the better.
