Women’s History Month: One whole month of the year dedicated to one of the two genders. Hmm… In one way, it’s sad to think we need a designated month to remember that (we) women have made significant contributions in our world. On the other hand, I am glad that while we still need it, we have it. (At what point do you think we won’t need it? Soon, I hope!)
This year, and every year, that month is March, and so today, on the first of this month, we celebrate Women’s History Month. I am planning to take the time here on my blog, for at least a few of the days this month, to highlight just a few of the women I admire. And, I’d like to invite you to join me.
For which women in history – recent or distant – are you most grateful? What did you learn or receive – directly or indirectly – as a result of their lives and the actions they took – or refused to take? And how are you living differently now, due to their influence?
Think about it and then let me know. I’d love to hear! Plus, there are so many, and so many I don’t yet know about, I look forward to learning from you. Most of all, however, together, let’s celebrate and honor the important women that came before us!
PS March is a special month for me for another reason, too. It’s the birth month of someone very special in my life – Mary Ann Luck Taylor. Happy Birth Month, Mom! I love and honor you!
