As a woman, when March rolls around, I am proud to talk about Women’s History Month. Many great women have made incredible contributions over the years. I want to honor them and show my appreciation for their work in helping us be recognized and give rights to us. The resilience of the women who came before us is astounding, and I hope to continue their legacy by being an advocate for mutual women's support. I hope to continue to break the barriers, stereotypes, and other challenges to shape a more inclusive society. To celebrate the women who came before us, I am going to list women and their amazing contributions to the world. I’d also like to thank all the women in my life for all the support and guidance they’ve provided over the years. Happy Women’s History Month!!
