Energized. Challenged. Heard. Heartened. Appreciative. More hopeful.

This is how leaders described their emotions at the conclusion of our first Civic Rally.

We're grateful to all the leaders and active citizens who joined us to flip the script on business as usual. Instead of creating a divisive political space, we created a civic space that restored a sense of possibility and hope as we discussed what we're wrestling with and how we can get our communities "unstuck."

We hope you join us too for the next Civic Rally on April 5 at 1pm EST. https://bit.ly/3UYg3Sa

Please plan to join us for a consensus meeting on Open Primaries

At A Mighty Girl, while we take pride in highlighting women, girls, and their remarkable accomplishments year-round, Women's History Month provides a special opportunity to show the broader community why it's so important for both girls and boys to learn about women's contributions to history. To do so, all during this month and all year-round, we'll continue to share the stories of girls and women throughout history and around the world, with special attention to lesser-known but equally amazing women whose stories have too often been consigned to the footnotes of history books.

Our Mighty Girls of today will be our history makers of tomorrow. We can’t wait to see all that they will do and create and be. In the meantime, it is our honor to inspire them with the stories of the girls and women who came before them.

To discover new children's books for Women's History Month, we've collected the best books on trailblazing women that have been published in the past 12 months in a new blog post, "New Mighty Girl Books for Women's History Month 2024" at https://www.amightygirl.com/blog?p=37219

For adults seeking inspiration in the stories of Mighty Women from around the world, you can find many reading recommendations in our blog post, "The Mighty Women Reading List for Adults," at https://www.amightygirl.com/blog?p=37136

For many more books about Mighty Women to share with kids during Women's History Month and throughout the year, we feature hundreds of youth-oriented biographies - sortable by reader age – at https://www.amightygirl.com/books/history-biography/biography
