March is Women’s History Month

"Well-behaved Women Seldom Make history"                                                                                ~Laurel Thatcher Ulrich

March is Women’s History Month – a month spotlighting women who, in one way or another, stepped outside their comfort zones and took risks to stand up for their beliefs, to share their passion for a cause, to defy accepted norms with no thought of seeking fame or fortune.

In an interview in 2007, Ulrich said when she wrote the book, Well-behaved Women Seldom Make History she wasn’t implying women should misbehave in order to be memorable, even though it’s how the quote is often interpreted. She was lamenting the fact that history very often overlooks so many women who have made positive impacts on society.

Whether sparked and fueled by events of tragedy, indignation at discriminatory treatment, or compassion for the plight of others’ misfortune, women have stepped up and accepted the gauntlet of diverse crusades, both past and present.  Consider the recent evidence of this:

• Parkland, Florida teen Emma Gonzales has become a very public voice of anti-gun advocacy after her passionate speech following the shootings at her high school
• Tarana Burke, the activist who started the #MeToo movement in 2006 which went viral when Alyssa Milano used it in support of Rose McGowan’s allegations of sexual harassment
• And when the 116th Congress convened in January 2019, a record number of women will be holding seats - 102 in the House of Representatives and 25 in  the Senate

​Perhaps you have a cause, a passion, or a dream growing inside a tight bud just itching to burst forth and blossom – if so, I’d like to offer some of my favorite inspirational quotes from some women I admire.

“No one can make you feel inferior without your permission” ~ Eleanor Roosevelt
“When they go low, you go high” ~ Michelle Obama
“What you think of me is none of my business” ~ Terry Cole Whittaker
