Women’s History Month is dear to me because I admire females who refuse to be confined by a patriarchal system. I’m inspired by strong female leaders who don’t hold back — they speak their minds.
For most of history, Anonymous was a woman.
In the future, there will be no female leaders. There will just be leaders.
The question isn’t who’s going to let me. It’s who is going to stop me.
No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.
We realize the importance of our voices only when we are silenced.
The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any.
Above all, be the heroine of your life, not the victim.
Freeing yourself was one thing, claiming ownership of that freed self was another.
Whatever anybody says or does, assume positive intent. You will be amazed at how your whole approach to a person or problem becomes very different.
Women’s History month is a great time to raise awareness and educate ourselves and our kids about the role of women in history. President Jimmy Carter proclaimed the week of March 8, 1980 to be National Women’s History Week, writing in his proclamation that the “achievements, leadership, courage, strength and love of the women who built America was as vital as that of the men whose names we know so well.”
The presidents who came to office after him continued to proclaim National Women’s History Week in March until 1987 when Congress passed Public Law 100-9, designating March as Women’s History Month. The 2022 theme is “Women Providing Healing, Promoting Hope.” The theme, designated by the National Women’s History Alliance is “both a tribute to the ceaseless work of caregivers and frontline workers during this ongoing pandemic and also a recognition of the thousands of ways that women of all cultures have provided both healing and hope throughout history.”
Over 100 years have passed since women gained the right to vote. Last year, Kamala Harris became the first woman and first woman of color to hold the office as Vice President, rising higher in America’s leadership than any woman ever before. And while we’ve made huge strides for women’s rights and gender equality, there’s still work to be done — in our country and around the world.
