March is Women's History Month, and at TWU, the nation’s only women-focused university system, we take special pride in leveraging our history and commitment to empowering and educating women.

Throughout the month, students will find opportunities to engage, learn and reflect on the impact of women in society through film screenings, lectures, interactive workshops and panel discussions. 

We hope you find inspiration in the stories below and will join us as we bring together dynamic women leaders, intergenerational activists, writers and educators to shine a light on outstanding, inspiring women in our communities.
