The plaque marks the building where she opened Walden Hospital in 1915.<\/p>\n<p>The three-story brick building is now an apartment complex, and the grey metal memorial out front, like Wheeler herself, can be easily overlooked.<\/p>\n<p>The same goes for many female history-makers on the international stage, too. People like Rosalind Franklin, the British chemist whose X-ray photos of DNA led her male contemporaries, James Watson and Francis Crick, to their Nobel Prize-winning double helix model. Franklin&#8217;s work went largely unnoted until recent years.<\/p>\n<p>Wheeler and Franklin and more modern figures, including singer Dolly Parton, are the subjects of the \u201cMarch Through History\u201d exhibition, held in March at Lupton Hall for Women\u2019s History Month. The exhibition includes interactive features and links for viewers to learn more. With the help of other departments and University partners, the center is offering other events throughout March to engage students, faculty and staff, male and female.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRecognizing and highlighting women that you don\u2019t hear about often is a big push for us this year,\u201d said Lauren Ouwerkerk, assistant director of the UTC Center for Women and Gender Equity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t always think about current history, so we\u2019re trying to balance out historical figures with modern women to help people feel more engaged,\u201d she said. ]\u201cBut you\u2019re not going to see a Ruth Bader Ginsburg poster because I hope our students already know who she is.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been impossible for history to ignore certain high-profile women like Ginsburg while many others have remained relatively obscure if not totally forgotten, on purpose.<\/p>\n<p>Women\u2019s History Month serves as a counterpoint, said Sara Peters, director of the Center for Women and Gender Equity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHistorically, history has ignored people from marginalized communities. That\u2019s why taking a month to recognize women\u2019s contributions to history and to our current society is so important,\u201d Peters said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe often see men getting credit for women\u2019s accomplishments,\u201d such as Rosalind Franklin and the discovery of DNA, she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe removal of women from history has been intentional because the assumption has been that women weren\u2019t to make those kinds of accomplishments. You can\u2019t fully understand history unless you understand the connectedness we all have with each other,\u201d Peters said.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>\u201cMarch Through History&#8221; Exhibit<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>When:<\/strong> March 1-31, 2022<\/p>\n<p><strong>Location:<\/strong> Lupton Hall<\/p>\n<p><strong>Details:<\/strong> Showcasing women throughout history with information and opportunities to learn more about the highlighted individuals, including a crossword puzzle.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Voting Rights Case Study (Registration required)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>When:<\/strong> 12:15-1:30 p.m. Monday, March 1<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where:<\/strong> Metro Building Room 231.<\/p>\n<p><strong>To register:<\/strong> Email <a href=\"mailto:marcia-noe@utc.edu\">marcia-noe@utc.edu<\/a>.
