Throughout March, we’ll be recognizing the remarkable contributions of women past and present, as part of Women’s History Month. To encapsulate the innumerable impacts of women on our society in a small piece of writing is an impossible undertaking, but we hope this acknowledgment will act as a single note in a chorus of praise and celebration.

The Crucible is lucky to have strong women who lead, educate, and inspire our community on a daily basis. We are so grateful for the women who have dedicated and continue to dedicate themselves to our mission and look forward to celebrating them all month long. 

Below you’ll find listings for local Women’s History Month events happening throughout March. From art exhibits to film screenings and panel discussions, these events will be sure to inspire, educate and delight. If there are any events we missed, please share via email.
