March was Women’s History Month, but here at the Center for Women’s Studies, women’s history is being written every day. On Facebook we are dedicated to ongoing dialogue related to all aspects of women’s lives every month of the year.

Women's StudiesFor this conversation to continue, and to expand, please join us. Once there, you’ll see our new interactive timeline, where we honor women’s histories at Colgate, from 1851 to today. These events and stories are truly revolutionary, in more ways than one.

You’ll find out which U.S. president sent his daughter to Colgate, when Colgate offered its first course on women’s lives, and opened its first rape crisis center. You can learn about gender equity in sports at Colgate – and interact with the people from around the Colgate community.
