Women's History Month 2025

October is Women’s History Month in Canada, a time to honor the women and girls, both past and present, who have expanded rights, opened doors, and reshaped both the economy and Canadian democracy.

The Government of Canada officially designated October as Women’s History Month in 1992, kickstarting an annual celebration of the remarkable contributions made by women and girls throughout Canada's history.

This month also serves as a reminder to reflect on the ongoing work needed to break down barriers, ensuring everyone can fully participate in Canada's social, cultural, and economic life.

The stories of women, in both history and modern times, are inspiring. This Women's History Month, immerse yourself in women's voices and narratives with the UNBC library!.
