March is well known as Women’s History Month and contains notable holidays like International Women’s Day and The Day of the Girl. Every year, many events celebrate the accomplishments of women and aim to bring light to gender inequality. The women’s, gender, and sexuality (WGS) department at the University of Maine is celebrating this month by hosting a series of events that students can access through their social media pages on Facebook and Instagram.
According to Laura Cowan, director of the WGS program at UMaine and associate professor of English Women’s History used to be confined to March 8, 1911, rather than an entire month. In Cowan’s experience as a teenager living in France, she remembered Women’s Day as similar to Mother’s Day, but more inclusive as it recognized every woman.

Families with young children appear to have a new champion.
The Metro Vancouver regional government is looking to build more child care facilities in its new housing projects.
The federation may go ahead even without funding from the B.C. provincial government.
The move was recommended in a staff report included in the agenda Wednesday (January 13) of the regional government’s housing committee.
“This will help the projects move forward with or without provincial funding, and allow future operators to apply for funding to ‘outfit’ the space as needed,” Laura Cowan wrote.
