About Us
Today, women in STEM are gaining increasing recognition with the tireless efforts of many different individuals and organizations. However, despite the significant number of women studying humanities, many female voices still remain unheard in the world of the humanities.
Women in Humanities (WIH) is a platform created by a dedicated team of high school students from all around the world aiming to address this disparity by spotlighting exceptional women in fields like Philosophy, Art Studies, History, Music, Literature, and more. Our mission is to ensure that their valuable contributions receive the attention they deserve.
These stories will be presented through biographies, insightful readings, and in-depth interviews and seminars. We also accept work from female students from grades 9 to 12 in a diverse range of subjects to encourage continuous creation among young female minds. Outstanding work selected by the committee will be published in our associated Magazine. We hope that these narratives will inspire more women to immerse themselves in the humanities and use their power to increase representations in the field, offering fresh insights into our past and future.
Women in Literature
Literature, a mirror reflecting the enigmatic natures of the human world, has been illuminated by the words of countless authors throughout time. Though women have played an essential role in shaping literature as it is today, their voices have been recurrently submerged by those of men. In this section on women in literature, we will embark on the annals of literary history, discovering an interwoven tapestry of the stories, downfalls, and victories that encapsulate the indomitable spirit of women.
Women in History
Dedicated to the pursuit of understanding, studying history offers us a profound opportunity to reflect on the past. It is within the rich tapestry of history that we find our roots. Over the years, countless generations of female historians, have studied the past, seeking insights from our ancestors and holding us accountable to learn from their experiences. In this section dedicated to women in history, we intend to provide introductions to several outstanding female historians who have made significant contributions to the field. Their work has not only expanded our understanding of the world but has also paved the way for future generations in the field of history. So, let's delve into their intellectual thoughts, learn from their perspectives, and allow ourselves to be inspired by their groundbreaking work.
Women in Theatre
Until the 1600s, female performances were strictly banished from stage and theater. As women gradually appeared on stages, the lack of feminine presence was complemented by a variety of roles undertaken and the voices spoken by women. From Ziegfeld's Follies to The Lion King, women have come to make the stage business flourish with diversity and aesthetics. Recall a moment when you walked into the theater, you'll be surprised by how strong the relevance of this experience is with women. Commence with this section to celebrate female theatrical workers and their contributions.
Women in Philosophy
Have you ever thought that with the absence of women philosophers, philosophy would not be PHILOSOPHY? Women were not encouraged to speak, or the voices of women who have contributed to the proceed of ideas or the establishment of theories were downplayed and unrecorded. As half of the human race, women make up the other half of philosophy. There should not be philosophy dominated by men or a special category of feminist philosophy just by women. There should be a philosophy where men and women are equally involved and listened to. The pursuit of knowledge has no restrictions. Women thought no less than men. Discover the power and capabilities of women's minds in Women in Philosophy!
Women in Film
Film is one of the most impactful and direct ways of storytelling. Ranging from the storyline to one frame of a scene, countless contributions of women were shown throughout the industry. However, people stereotypically believed that women only contributed to the job of makeup artists, dressers, or the elegant female lead. In fact, women have made significant contributions in every role required for producing films throughout the industry, while there is a vast amount of untapped potential for women directors. More perspectives of storytelling should be heard, more empathy for female characters should be shown, and more imperfect women's bodies should be seen. That is why this section, which exhibits the brilliant women's powers throughout this industry, is created.
Women in Religion
When discussing the history and culture of religions, it is crucial not to overlook the significant role played by women. With steadfast faith, wisdom, and courage, they have made profound impacts in the realm of religion. Through this module, you will learn about the lives and biographies of exceptional women from various religious backgrounds, as well as how they have upheld their faith and maintained religious doctrines with sublime spirituality and moral values. We hope that this website will foster respect and understanding for the status of women in religion and inspire you with a unique perspective on religion and women's rights.
Women in Music
It’s easy to think of widely successful and famous female singers today, but do you know the obstacles they faced? Are you aware of the hidden voices of countless women in the music industry, working tirelessly behind the scenes? In this section, we are highlighting the remarkable yet overlooked contributions of women in the field of music. From composers to performers, educators to industry leaders, these women have shaped musical landscapes and made significant societal and cultural impacts. Join us in celebrating their achievements and amplifying their voices in the world of music.
