UW-Milwaukee’s Women‘s & Gender Studies Department honors and celebrates Women‘s History Month in many ways, including an essay contest open to all Milwaukee Public Schools students.
We are proud to announce that Defy Nyota won the 7th grade category in this contest, Wisconsin Women Making History, with her essay on Mabel Raimey, which can be read here.👈 Defy Nyota and her teachers were invited to the awards presentation, and she proudly presented her work (remotely) with MACL staff in attendance. Congratulations, and happy Women’s History Month to all!
