The best Women’s History Month events in NYC

The clothes we put on our bodies every day don't just keep us warm or covered or in fashion. They also say something. Clothing conveys meaning—sometimes in direct ways like "I'm mourning" and sometimes in indirect ways like "screw the status quo." 

A new exhibit titled "Real Clothes, Real Lives: 200 Years of What Women Wore" at the The New York Historical digs into how clothing has played a crucial role in the lives of everyday women. The exhibit, on view through June 22, 2025, explores how women have influenced, adapted and defied societal expectations through clothing. See a wide array of women's clothing, from a Depression-era house dress to a psychedelic micro mini to an Abercrombie & Fitch wool suit from 1917. Unlike most other women's fashion exhibitions, there's not a ball gown in sight, and that's exactly what makes this show so special. 

There's gonna be no better way to close out Women's History Month than with Support Women DJ's 24 hour party. Support Women DJs has made a name for itself for booking all-women and femme lineups, and their big event at the end of the month on March 29 will take place at the collective's studio at 260 Meserole Street in Brooklyn.

All proceeds from the party will go towards supporting the Violence Intervention Program (VIP), a Latina-led organization providing critical resources to survivors of domestic and sexual violence in NYC. The event will also be live-streamed on Twitch, bringing our mission to a global audience.

Bad bitches to the left! Actually, bad bitches to the left, to the right and all over the place at the Stonewall Inn on Saturday, March 29, as the historic bar plays host to Bad Bitch Brunch in celebration of International Women's History Month. From 2pm to 4pm, the interactive variety show will feature an all-female lineup of queer talent performing comedy, drag, music and more "for an empowering, slutty and wild afternoon."

And if you're feeling really feeling like a bad bitch, you can opt for a VIP ticket and take part in the afternoon's saucy series of interactive, sex-positive activities.
