Women have shaped AGMA’s history. Throughout our 90 years, women have led negotiations, organized their colleagues, stewarded contracts, mentored the next generation, and brought extraordinary artistry to places all over the world. Their leadership, creativity, and solidarity have strengthened our collective voice and helped define who we are as a union.
In honor of Women’s History Month, we invite AGMA members who identify as women (including cisgender, transgender women, and nonbinary members who feel connected to Women’s History Month) to share stories, poetry, or artwork reflecting their experiences. Selected submissions will be featured on AGMA’s website, newsletter, and social platforms throughout March.

AGMA celebrates the full spectrum of women’s identities and experiences, and honors the diverse ways our members connect to womanhood.
