In the beginning of March, we asked our Vine community to join us in a month-long celebration of Women's History Month using #WCWProj2016. To kick things off, we chose to honor Sally Ride, first American woman in space, in our call-to-action Vine.

We also posted two Vines created by some of our favorite female stop motion animators. The first one came from Mighty Oak, an all-female studio based in Brooklyn. The second one came from Meagan Cignoli, the founder of a female-led studio called Visual Country in lower Manhattan.
