Women's History Month: How It Started
By Andrea Wurzburger - Updated on March 1, 2024 05:35AM EST
PHOTO: GETTY IMAGES
1. Women's History Month was initially just International Women's Day, a day that commemorated
the Feb. 28 meeting of socialists and suffragists in Manhattan in 1909. One year later, on March 8,
1910, according to the BBC, a German activist named Clara Zetkin suggested they recognize
International Women’s Day at na International Conference of Working Women in Copenhagen.
With 17 countries in attendance at the conference, they all agreed.
2. On March 8, 1911, the first International Women’s Day was celebrated in Austria, Switzerland, Germany and
Denmark, though the holiday wasn’t widely celebrated in the United States until the United Nations began
sponsoring it in 1975.
3. In 1977, in order to persuade school principals to comply with the recently passed Title IX, a task force in
California created Women’s History Week. In March 1980, after celebrations had spread across the country,
President Jimmy Carter declared that March 8 was officially the start of National Women’s History Week.
That same year, Utah Senator Orrin Hatch and Maryland Representative Barbara Mikulski co-sponsored the
first Joint Congressional Resolution declaring the week of March 8, 1981, National Women’s History Week.
4. By 1987, Congress declared the entire month of March Women's History Month. Since then, every
president has proclaimed the month of March Women's History Month. We celebrate Women's History
Month to remind everyone of the achievements of women throughout the years in our culture and society,
and why it's important to study them and their important moments in history. From science to politics to
entertainment, it is a chance to reflect on the trailblazing women who lead the way for change.

Verb phrases contain a verb as their central element.
However, sentences that include a modal verb (such as
can, may might etc) can also be considered a verb phrase,
since the modal verb will change the meaning and tone of
the main verb. It is important to note that modal verbs is
the only exception to verb phrases without a verb as its
central element.

Agatha Christie
Agatha Christie is one of the rare writers who has completely transcended pop culture to become a more or less permanent
fixture in the literary filament. Most authors — even best-selling authors who won awards and enjoyed huge sales of their
books — fade away shortly after they die, their work falling out of fashion. A favorite example is George Barr McCutcheon,
who had several bestsellers in the early 20th century — including "Brewster’s Millions," which has been adapted to film seven
times — and was quite the literary star. A hundred years later, few people know his name, and if they know the title of his
most famous work, it’s probably because of Richard Pryor.
But Christie is something else entirely. [...] Christie’s works are protected from the sort of rot that makes most non-literary
classics fade from the public mind, of course, because they are generally quite clever, and the mysteries they describe and
solve are crimes and schemes that could still be attempted today despite the march of time and technology. That makes
Christie’s stories very adaptable, and indeed they are still adapting her most famous novels for television and film. Whether
as period pieces or with effortless updates, these stories remain the gold standard for a “whodunnit.” On top of that, despite
being a writer of paperback mysteries, a traditionally low-rent genre, Christie injected a certain thrilling literary adventure
into her writing, ignoring the rules quite often and setting new standards [...].
And that’s likely the reason for Christie’s continued popularity. Despite writing what could have been tossed-off novels that
sold like hotcakes and were then forgotten, Christie managed a perfect balance between intelligent artistry and the red meat
of surprise twists, sudden reveals, and convoluted murder plots. Tha t literary intelligence, in fact, means that there’s a lot
more than just clues to the mystery at hand in Christie’s stories — in fact, there are clues to Agatha Christie herself hidden in
her prose.

Failed policies and false promises bedevil multilingualism in South Africa
Twenty-seven years after democracy, English retains its hegemony as the language of influence, means, and access in all
spheres of life – despite progressive language policies and government promises to foster all eleven official languages. “We
are a multilingual country with monolingual practices,” said University of Cape Town (UCT) Vice-Chancellor Professor
Mamokgethi Phakeng in a public lecture, delivered as Bristol Illustrious Visiting Professor (BIVP). [...]
In 1997 South Africa announced a new Language in Education policy for schools, recognising eleven official languages and
encouraging multilingualism. Within this policy, learners must choose the preferred language of learning on admission to a
school. Where the language they choose is not available, parents can apply to the provincial education department to provide
instruction. Most choose English – probably through their parents’ influence, as it holds the key to opportunities, said
Phakeng.
In 2020 the Department of Higher Education and Training published a language policy framework for public higher education
institutions. These policies are intended to develop and strengthen indigenous languages as languages of scholarship, teaching
and learning, and communication in South African universities, said Phakeng. The policy framework is also meant to highlight
the role of higher education in creating and promoting conditions for the development of historically marginalized official
South African languages of the Khoi, Nama, and San people, as well as sign language [...].
History has shown that despite their lofty intentions, both policies have failed to redress the situation. English still dominates
in almost every facet of public life. The reasons are many and complex, said Phakeng [...].
“For example, you can be fluent in six of the country’s eleven official languages but denied an opportunity to join the military,
because your matric English mark was 45%. It doesn’t matter that you scored 78% for your home language, Xhosa.” [...]
Research suggests that schools are not opting to use indigenous African languages as languages of learning and teaching, in
both policy and practice. Those in power should have known better, Phakeng said.
“Mother-tongue instruction has a bad image among speakers of African languages. It is associated with apartheid, and hence
inferior education – parents’ memories of Bantu education, combined with our perception of English as a gateway to better
education, and making most black parents favor English from the beginning.”
English is also a prerequisite for anyone aspiring to become a professional in South Africa. [...]

meant to highlight the role of higher education in creating and promoting conditions for the development of historically

In the study of languages, understanding verb tenses and their
applications within different contexts is fundamental to effective
communication. The verb 'to be' in English, for instance, is a
highly versatile verb, serving not only as a main verb expressing
states, but also as an auxiliary verb in various tenses. Consider the
following excerpt from a historical novel set in the 19th century:
'In times long past, the issue of women's rights was not as
universally recognized as it is today. Women in many societies not
only had to struggle to be acknowledged as equals but also often
bore the additional burden of being considered property, their
voices not heard and their actions overlooked.' Analyzing this
passage, discuss the application of the verb 'to be' in highlighting
the conditions and perceptions of women during that era.
Additionally, reflect on how the verb 'to be' aids in conveying the
enduring struggles for equality in different historical periods.
