I have the wonderful honor of organizing the Women's History Month event at Suite101. Although this has meant a lot of work on my part, it has also given me a great learning opportunity. We have over 75 articles on a huge variety of topics related to women's history. I've learned about women in history who I never even knew exsisted.
