This Women’s History Month, we are participating in and hosting events in the Utah-area and some of them will also be live-streamed. We have also launched a limited-edition Women’s History Month “Founding Mothers” to honor those whose shoulders we stand upon. Learn more about all the ways to get involved this month below.
And, if you are able, we also encourage you to support Exponent II this month by signing up for a subscription, gifting a subscription, making a donation, or simply telling a friend about us. A $20-$45 subscription can go a long way to support the work of hundreds of women. Thank you for being a part of our 50-year history!
Shop Women’s History
This Women’s History Month support Exponent II by purchasing our limited-edition “founding mothers” t-shirt from Exponent II’s Bonfire store.
Laurel, Claudia and Judy are also three of dozens of women highlighted in Exponent II’s “Illuminating Ladies: A Coloring Book of Mormon Women” illustrated by Molly Cannon Hadfield. Coloring books supplies are running low until we formalize plans for a re-print, so don’t miss the chance to order one of the final second edition coloring books!
