Today, we honor the progress made, uplift the women leading across every industry and community, and recommit to building a more equitable future for the next generation.

For more than a century, BPW has been part of the story of women’s progress — and Women’s History Month is a powerful reminder that history is still being written.

Since 1919, BPW has worked to advance equity for working women through advocacy, education and connections. Women’s History Month isn’t only about honoring the trailblazers who came before us. It’s about celebrating the women leading today — in boardrooms, small businesses, classrooms, public office and communities — and ensuring the next generation has even greater opportunity.

When women come together, we don’t just make history. We shape the future. Join us as we honor the past, celebrate the present and continue building what’s next.
