The original idea for a Celebration of Women comes from Ancient Sites and was first expressed by Claudilla Caecilius, who was inspired by a suggestion from Belay Fabius. In 2003, the group Vita Feminea Antiqua decided to revive the tradition, creating this thread where citizens from all the Ancient Worlds could participate. (Image courtesy of VFA.)

From the earliest days to the modern age, women have played a significant role in our history. March is Women's History Month, a time to celebrate the achievements and contributions that women have made throughout history. Join us in honoring and recognizing the role of women in transforming culture and history, as leaders, artists, writers, educators, scientists, mothers, and informed citizens.

"There is in every true woman's heart a spark of heavenly fire, which lies dormant in the broad daylight of prosperity; but which kindles up, and beams and blazes in the dark hour of adversity."
