In the United States, female teachers vastly outnumber male. Yet that is where the parity stops. The fourth in our five-part series on International Women’s Day, this one focuses on education.
For a hundred years, March has hosted International Women’s Day, an event to recognize the achievements of women – and their struggles to make those achievements into reality. It is a day to remember how far women have come, and how far there still is to go, in terms of true equality.
