Continue to honor women leaders, scientists, authors, athletes, actresses, entrepreneurs and more throughout Women’s History Month.  

Illinois REALTORS® offers numerous ideas for recognizing great women of the past, present and future who help us be united, strong and resilient. See if you can think of any other activities you could be part of in your community:   

1. At 5 p.m. March 15, watch a free online screening of the second episode of the POV miniseries “And She Could Be Next,” organized by the National Women’s History Museum. Female filmmakers of color tell the story of female candidates and organizers of color who are changing American politics today. Learn about Stacey Abrams of Georgia, Bushra Amiwala of Illinois, Rashida Talib of Michigan and others, then join the filmmakers for questions and answers after the screening. Register now.
