National Women's History Month

March is National Women's History Month.

Each year National Women's History Month employs a unifying theme and recognizes national honorees whose work and lives testify to that theme. The theme for 2012 is "Women's Education - Women's Empowerment." 

Among this year's National Women's History Project honorees is Charlotte Forten Grimke, who taught here in Beaufort County during the early days of the "Port Royal Experiment."  To honor her contribution to education, we have prepared an online list of our library's resources about her, her life, and her family.
