ROCHESTER, N.Y. – The Rochester Museum and Science Center (RMSC) celebrated the women of Rochester at their “Women’s Herstory” event on Sunday.

The community had the opportunity to meet with scientists and engineers and celebrate the legacy of women in history from Rochester and beyond. There were also hands-on activities related to women in history and local women’s groups from RIT and the University of Rochester participated.

Regina Nagan, Public Programs Coordinator at RMSC, emphasized the importance of the event.

“There are a lot of really important change makers and women from Rochester and beyond that’s contributions to the country have been forgotten and it’s really important to highlight them at events like this,” Nagan said.

Each Saturday during Women’s History Month, RMSC honors the cultural and scientific contributions of women throughout history.
