ALA Celebrates Women’s History Month
March is Women’s History Month, when we celebrate the vital role women have played in United States and global history. According to the National Women’s History Alliance, this year’s theme is “Women Who Advocate for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion.” Today, when women’s rights are under particular attack, it is more important than ever that we recognize the women in our society who are fighting for a more inclusive and just present and future.
In the legal industry, where women’s paths for advancement have historically been difficult, numerous trailblazers have paved the way for a more equitable profession, although there are many strides still to be made. ALA is proud that women make up 80% of our membership, and we stand ready to assist and support all our members in their diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) efforts.
