Women’s History Month
March is Women's History Month, a time to commemorate and encourage the study, observance and celebration of the vital role of women in American history. Sport and the empowerment it has afforded women is undisputed, and this month we celebrate the women who led the charge in running, current history makers, and those ensuring the stories of women athletes are not forgotten. We also meet women pioneers from other sports across the Outside+ family, because the fight for even playing fields is common to all sport. Lace up, read on, be inspired, and most importantly, let's move!
