Women Making History Today

Women's History Month is an opportunity to honor the indelible contributions women have made in societies around the world. But don't wait until remarkable women are in history books to celebrate them! Learn about contemporary women making their mark on the world.

Despite exciting gains, gender equality in the United States could be more than two centuries away. At Aspen Ideas 2020, we'll celebrate victories, examine disparities, learn from contemporary movements, and take stock of the state of feminism. Learn more about the program track, Women 2020.

"I’ve got this crazy theory I’ve been working on. It’s called the 20 percent tipping point. The #MeToo movement happened when about 20 percent of filmmakers were female. That meant women felt a little bit safer, they felt that they would be heard and believed, and that what we call career-limiting moves wouldn’t be so bad because they would have other options." — Naadiya Moosajee, co-founder of Women in Engineering
