This month, Creative Collective is celebrating Women’s History Month!* Follow along as we tell the stories of women small business owners and woman-led organizations.
March is Women’s History Month – and there are several ways to celebrate, learn, and discover in the coming weeks. Here is our roundup of events on the North Shore and in greater Boston celebrating the women, femmes/fems, non-binary, agender, genderqueer, transgender, and two-spirit individuals in our communities.
If you have an event you would like to have added to this list, please send our editor a message at joeyphoenix@creativecollectivema.com
*For us, women’s history is intersectional, because it’s impossible to separate the challenges, and victories, of women’s history and women’s rights apart from other issues of women’s lives like race, class, disability, age, sexual orientation, trans and cisgender identity, citizenship status, and body size, to name a few.
