So I get Black History month, because so much of the history that we teach in schools is white history up until a certain point. But Women's History month? Do they not teach anything about Madame Curie or Queen Elizabeth or Marie Antoinette in schools?

@ObserverIO - Can't speak for schools now but certainly was lacking back in the day such as talking about Babbage with no mention of Ada Lovelace and similarly with multiple other cases when a male gets all the credit even when as much or in some instance more the input of females led to the breakthroughs. As a Brit we were taught a bit about all the Queens but way more on the Kings, but also very little if at all on the various stages of womens rights struggles. There was also very little literature by females covered back when I was a kid, typicaly you'd be talking one of the Bronte Sisters books and everything else male authors so has been an educational skew in the past, unsure of specificaly now.

@Apophis71 - I mean I know Queen Elizabeth I, Queen Elizabeth II and Queen Victoria, but Kings? Not so much. Henry VIII of course, of course. He's Henry VIII of course. But generally, if there's not Shakespeare play about them, I know nothing about them. And when I think of Shakespeare I think of Queen Elizabeth.

I know way more Queens than I do Kings. But then I do end up drinking in the strangest of places, so that might have something to do with it.

@ObserverIO - lol, seriously I was saying what I did based on the focus of education in the Schools I attended in the 70's and 80's. I know things were more balanced to some degree for our kids (certainly in regard to careers advice) but unsure how good/balanced and if things have changed more in the last decade or more.

I do however see some benefit to inspire young girls by highlighting the work of ones like Lovelace in computing and other females in the fields of science and mathematics. Tend to think there is still a perception those are educational and professional paths for males and there is a general lack of those entering into such fields at a time when the demand for them has been increasing. Many cases in history where as much or more of the legwork was done by females, astronomy for instance was at times almost entirely females analysing the images and data only for the male head to get the credit so...

...I am not wading heavily into all of this however as experiance and perceptions will differ greatly between generations and differing regions of the world.

@HashTagSwagg - I'm using this as an excuse to watch the nutty professor this month. Eddie Murphy was such a stunning and brave woman then.

Celebrating women for women's history month kinda loses the point when that's all the company does now.

After the first few, I was thinking they were In Memoriam posters for failed Disney+ shows.
