NYC Dyke March

Thanks to all the dykes, women and allies who came out to march, support, cheer and join in the 21th Annual New York City Dyke March! We hope you’re all recovering from the excitement of pride weekend. The NYC Dyke March is for all dykes, all women - cis, trans, or otherwise self-identified - if you identify as a woman, you are welcome to march, marshal and organize with us. Keep an eye out for some fundraisers during the year, and get ready for the 21st Annual Dyke March committee meetings, starting this winter! If you’d like to get involved, send an email over to dykes@dykemarchnyc.org.

historicalheroines:

 I’ve created these flyers for a school activist project where I bring more attention to the women in history that have been forgotten or ignored. This blog will be an extension of those flyers where I post longer biographies of these women and other bad-ass women like them. Too often women’s achievements have been pushed aside, either by others in their lives, or else by the historians who choose to ignore them. This tumblr is dedicated to celebrating them and bringing their achievements to light!
