International Women’s Day is the annual celebration of the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women throughout history, and around the world. This year’s theme is the #ChooseToChallenge—and at edX, we’re choosing to use this opportunity to share educational resources to help our community learn about issues pertaining to women’s history, including the ongoing fight for gender parity, the recent bursts of activism among women, and more.

We encourage you to take a look at the curated selection of resources below—and #ChooseTo use your learning as a tool to create a more inclusive world.
