CSRW Events
Among its varied activities to promote women's issues, CSRW coordinates numerous public cultural events focused on women and gender. These have included conferences featuring renowned speakers, brownbag-lunch lecture series, public-school book drives, "Take Our Daughters to Work Day,” and other special presentations. Most well-known among our events is our annual program in March to celebrate Women’s History Month.
Women's History Month
To celebrate Women’s History Month, every year in March, CSRW coordinates a series of events. These events are free and open to the public. These diverse programs have included lectures by nationally renowned scholars and authors, panel discussions of prominent women in the community, workshops by experts in various fields, and theatrical and musical performances, among others.
