As moms (to two-legged and four-legged little ones), we know (or should know) how important mothers and women in general are. During the month of March, there’s a little extra time devoted in celebrating Women’s History Month, as well as International Women’s Day on March 8th.
Charlotte, like other major cities in the United States, has devoted a variety of events to celebrating women. Here’s a few:
- Resident Culture’s International Women’s Day Celebration: A two-day event (Friday, March 7th and Saturday, March 8th) that highlights the importance of women’s health. There’s a comedy show on Friday, and on Saturday there’ll be an array of events, from a women’s health panel to music and women-owned businesses. (Plaza Midwood, 2101 Central Avenue, Charlotte, NC 28205)
- Harriet Tubman and the Importance of Swamps for Freedom Seekers: Learn about how in tune Harriet Tubman was to nature, and how that assisted her in creating the Underground Railroad. The lecture is led by historian Dr. Cassandra Newby-Alexander. (Saturday, March 8th at 10:00am; 6345 Sample Road, Huntersville, NC)
- No Man’s Land Festival: In addition to celebrating women, there’ll be many ways (70+, to be exact) for you to support women-owned businesses at this South End event. Photo ops, workshops, food, and more will also be available. (Saturday, March 22nd from 11:00am-5:00pm; 1900 block of Camden Road, Charlotte, NC)
- Women in Aviation Panel: Come listen to a group of female pilots at this Sullenberger Aviation Museum event. There’s also a focus on The Ninety-Nines, an international organization of female pilots dedicated to promoting and advancing women in aviation. (Saturday, March 22 at 1:00pm; 4108 Minuteman Way, Charlotte, NC)
