Across the US, the UK and Australia, the month of March is celebrated as Women’s History Month. Each year, the Harvard Square Business Association commemorates Women’s History Month by proudly publishing a list of women business owners and directors, as well as political, civic, academic, cultural and non-profit leaders from across the Square and across our great city.
Please join us in applauding the impressive impact these women have on our community and beyond. We acknowledge their dedication and hard work, honor their contributions and celebrate their success.
