Celebrating Herstory 365
“Perseverance is failing 19 times and succeeding the 20th.”
From a month of love and excellence, to a month of herstory!
The first celebration that inspired Women’s History Month, was from a week-long event recognizing the cultural and historical contributions made by women and was organized by the Sonoma, CA school district in 1978. Several schools and hundreds of students participated in an essay contest titled “Real Woman”. In 1980, President Jimmy Carter proclaimed the week of March 8th as Women’s History Week and 6 years after, the National Women’s History Project petitioned Congress to expand the week to the Month of March. International Women’s Day which is global movement is also celebrated this month and originally took place on March 8, 1911.
This month’s Backstage spotlights a select group of pioneer women within the music industry. The women selected were true trailblazers and we believe their contributions deserve to be celebrated 365. And make sure to connect with us on on twitter and instagram throughout the month we will highlight beautiful words of wisdom from various women in music, performing arts and wellness industries .
At Brooklyn Music School we believe in the ideal of America, that all people are created equal and in turn should be celebrated and honored year-round. We hope that one day contributions made by cultures who have been pushed outside of the margins will be celebrated as a part of America’s rich and beautifully diverse Herstory, until that time we hope you joins us as we celebrate Women not only this month but 365!
