March marks the return of Print HERstory Month, an annual initiative hosted by Girls Who Print that takes place throughout the month in conjunction with Women’s History Month. Print HERstory Month amplifies women’s voices across the printing and graphic communications industry by creating industry visibility and highlighting the actions women take to advance their careers.

In 2026, Print HERstory Month aligns with the United Nations International Women’s Day guiding principle, Rights. Justice. Action. Girls Who Print applies this framework through its International Women’s Day Conference theme, MAKE YOUR MOVE, extending it into the Print HERstory Month Q&A to encourage reflection on action, progress, and next steps in print careers.

International Women’s Day Conference March 6, 2026

As part of Print HERstory Month, Girls Who Print will host its 8th Annual International Women’s Day Conference on March 6, 2026, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. ET. This free virtual event brings together women from across the industry to explore career growth, leadership, and the moments that shape professional paths in print and graphic communications. Attendees can register once, come and go as they please, and receive replays delivered to their inbox.

Print HERstory Month Q&A

Print HERstory Month is more than a celebration; it’s a movement. Women in print worldwide are invited to answer a short Q&A posted on the Girls Who Print website, share their stories, and help amplify the voices of others by engaging with and resharing posts using #PrintHERstoryMonth throughout March.

“Print HERstory Month is about action and visibility,” said Deborah Corn, Executive Director of Girls Who Print. “When women step forward and share their stories, they make their work, leadership, and expertise visible to the industry. That visibility creates momentum, opens doors, and helps more women be seen, heard, and recognized for the impact they are already having in print.”

In 2025, Print HERstory Month generated nearly 300,000 global impressions through shared stories and social engagement using #PrintHERstoryMonth.

Submissions to participate in Print HERstory Month close March 1, 2026.
