womens history month

Happy Women’s History Month! From hill to holler, Athens and OU are full of the gifts of centuries of women who helped build, grow and sustain this place. Athens has long been known for its civil rights efforts, and Ohio University has a 45-year history of Women, Gender & Sexuality Studies. But women’s impact on OU go about 100 years past that. In honor of Women’s History Month this year, let’s take a quick look at the first woman to graduate OU – Margaret Boyd, and the first woman of Color to graduate from OU – Martha Jane Hunley Blackburn.
