March is Women’s History Month, and there are plenty of ways to celebrate at the George Washington University—including a visit from “Reading Lolita in Tehran” author Azar Nafisi, a look back at women’s history in the School of Engineering and Applied Science, exhibitions by women in the arts, panels on reproductive justice and more. Plus, we've listed a few special events around the District of Columbia. We’ll continue to update this list as new events are announced.
