LIFE Women's History Month Print Sale: Own a LIFE Photograph

As Women's History Month approaches — March has been designated as such in the U.S. since 1987 — you can bring a piece of that history home, with an iconic photograph from the LIFE collection, now on sale for a limited time in the TIME Shop.
In addition to the already available collection of LIFE classics, six photographs of history-making women are newly available for purchase. And, taking a look at these six images, it's clear just how many aspects of world events have been changed by women like these: Thomas D. McAvoy's image of singer Marian Anderson in 1939 captures a concert considered a curtain-raiser for the civil rights movement, and Yale Joel's 1965 photograph of LIFE contributor Gloria Steinem catches the writer right on the cusp of becoming a feminist icon. Allan Grant's picture of Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn at the 1956 Oscars showcases the best in show business on their industry's biggest night, while Alfred Eisenstaedt's 1953 Marilyn Monroe summons a star in an intimate, off-the-clock moment. In 1943, Peter Stackpole caught an unnamed female pilot while on assignment for a LIFE cover story about the “Girl Pilots” serving in World War II, and in that same year photographer Margaret Bourke-White captured herself in action with a self-portrait in front of the Flying Fortress bomber in which she became the first woman to fly with a U.S. combat crew over enemy soil.
Throughout the month of March, use the promo code WOMEN20 to claim 20% off an 11×14-inch photographic print produced on archival quality paper. Each of the prints shown in the gallery above retails for $74.95 before the discount and includes the story behind the photograph and a certificate of authenticity. International shipping is now available.

Early American Colonists Had a Cash Problem. Here's How They Solved It

Resim
Money, or the lack thereof, was a persistent problem in colonial America. The colonists were under the control of Great Britain, where the legal tender was both gold and silver, known as a bimetallic system. Yet British coins circulated only rarely in the colonies. The colonists had an unfavorable balance of trade with the mother country, meaning that the value of the goods they imported from England greatly exceeded the value of the goods exported back. Most specie that flowed into the colonies through trade quickly flowed back to England in payment for these goods. Nor did the colonists have access to specie through any domestic gold or silver discoveries. In order to have a functioning economy, the colonists were forced to turn to other commodities for use as money. Spanish coins, from trade with the West Indies and Mexico, circulated freely in the colonies as legal tender. While goods were officially valued in British pounds, in their day-to-day transactions colonists more com...

Colorized Photos From Early Suffrage Marches Bring Women's History to Life

Though the dedication of March to the topic of women's history is now observed in the U.S., it  grew out of  a week that grew out a day: International Women's Day, which is observed on March 8. On or around that day, for more than a century, women around the world have marched for what they believe in. In 1909, at the  original  such march, it was for better working conditions. This year, the day will be an occasion for the movement associated with January's post-Inauguration Women's March  protests  to  continue  to make its voice heard. But during the first decades of the 20th century, there was one particular cause that drew  many  American women to take to the streets: the right to vote. Images of  suffrage marches  from the decade before the  19th Amendment  enfranchised women, from the Library of Congress' collection of early news photographs, capture that important moment in time. For this year's Interna...
