If Chaka Khan’s I’m Every Woman is in constant rotation on your playlist, then you should know that March is Women’s History Month.
In Philadelphia, home to Betsy Ross, Pearl S. Buck, Patti LaBelle and many other trailblazers, museums and attractions honor the contributions made to society by both historical and modern-day women all month long.
Celebrate the life and achievements of women past and present at events throughout the city. Hear from contemporary female movers and shakers at the Free Library of Philadelphia author events, witness women’s history in the making with moving performances at Penn Museum’s CultureFest! and the National Liberty Museum’s NLM at Night poetry slam, release your inhibitions at Crossing Vineyards’ Ladies’ Night Out and Stratus Lounge’s Women’s Way Wednesdays, and support local lady creatives at The Colored Girls Museum’s Sit a Spell exhibition and on the Sisterhood Sit-In Philly trolley tour.
Read on for our guide on how to celebrate Women’s History Month in Philadelphia in 2023.
