If you want to teach the children in your life about Arizona’s rich women’s history this March, here’s where to head. www.coppercourier.com By Haley Van Horn
March is Women’s History Month, and there’s no better time to start teaching youth about those who paved the way. Several of our country’s female trailblazers are native Arizonans, while others have a strong connection to the state.
This Women’s History Month, take your daughter (or any child, for that matter; women’s history enlightens us all) on an adventure. She will learn Arizona history and get inspired by the women who impacted not only the state but the country as a whole. Your daughter will leave knowing that she can be whoever she wants to be.
Arizona Heritage Center, Tempe
This March, take your daughter to learn about the inspiring women who helped shape Arizona’s history at the Arizona Heritage Center. The museum tells the stories of the diverse group of women who made the state what it is. From exhibits featuring beautiful weavings from Navajo women to those honoring migrants with the Migrant Quilt Project, it’s the perfect place to teach her about the state’s rich history.
There is also an exhibit to Historical League Historymakers like Diana ‘DeDe’ Devine, Sister Adele O’Sullivan, and Sharon Harper. The museum is open Tuesday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
