Texas Tech University Women’s & Gender Studies is celebrating Women’s History Month by showcasing women past, present and future. Taking inspiration from the National Women’s History Project we honor women who helped and are continuing to help create a better world for the times in which they lived as well as for future generations. Throughout the month of March, we will test your knowledge of history of women and women’s achievements through an online trivia game.
