Celebrating Women’s History Month

HerStory content campaign

We’re celebrating Women’s History Month at NewsBreak by sharing stories about women’s contributions and achievements in local communities. Women’s History Month began in 1987 to honor the impact women have made over the course of American history. In 2022, we want to highlight the amazing women making an impact in local communities across the U.S.
