💬Today is World Storytelling Day.
🧍🏻♀️Our EUSTORY History Campus editor, Andreyan visited Ms. Kłobuszańska, a 70-year-old Polish woman living in the countryside. She told him the story of how she had survived when food was scarce and freedom was limited under communism.
🌍Even as a child, Ms Kłobuszewska could sense that adults did not talk about politics in front of children under communism.
In 1989, a series of revolutions led to the collapse of communism in several countries in Europe, including Poland. Then, the people held the first free election to start a new era of democracy. Ms. Kłobuszewska enjoyed her newfound freedom.
👵 Ms. Kłobuszańska is no ordinary woman. She is a superhero with a past that connects to the present and the future.

🥳Today is March 8th, International Women’s Day!
🇬🇪Maro Makashvili, a girl from 100 years ago, changed the way Nato, our EUSTORY History Campus editor, thinks.
🗣️Despite discrimination from every direction, Maro Makashvili advocated in speech and writing for women’s rights. She became the first woman to be awarded with the Georgian Order of National Hero.
💪Her short life of 19 years from a century ago is still told in Georgian schools today. These rights are still being fought all over the world, and International Women’s Day is an important day to also commemorate girls and women like her.

👩⚕️ "Aunt-Doctor": https://historycampus.org/2025/the-silence-only-she-could-hear-a-pioneer-of-autism-research/
For her family, Růžena Nesnídalová was a caring relative. For psychiatry, she was the first woman in Czechoslovakia to describe autism in children.
Her story spans medicine, philosophy, and human rights – but also solitude, love lost, and resilience. Who was this woman with the “sight of an owl”?

🏳️🌈 June 28, 1969 – Remembering Stonewall
👮♂️ In 1960s New York, LGBTQ+ people had barely any safe spaces. The Stonewall Inn was one of the few — yet it too faced routine police raids, harassment, and intimidation.
🧱 On the night of June 28, 1969, something changed. Instead of staying silent, guests of the Stonewall Inn resisted. Their courage sparked days of protest — and ignited a global movement.
🌍 One year later, the first Christopher Street Liberation Day marked this moment of defiance. It became the starting point of Pride celebrations around the world.
🌈 Pride is more than a celebration. It’s a powerful reminder of the courage it took — and still takes — to stand up for dignity, safety, and visibility. 💪
