Happy Women’s History Month! Every March, we commemorate the vital role of women in American history, culture, and society. The Amplify curriculum includes resources and lessons that feature inspirational girls and women, and can help you jumpstart conversations during this month. As you study the achievements and struggles of influential women in your classrooms, we encourage you to distribute these printable illustrated fact sheets about Malala Yousafzai, Sally Ride, and Wilma Rudolph to celebrate how these women have changed our world for the better.
