Praise

Well, as you can see I have not been doing a good job of keeping up on this here blog. And for goodness sake's it is Women's History Month. I should be blogging about all the great women and all the great things they have done. Instead, I have left this poor blog to sit in awkward boredom. My apologies blog.

I should be expressing my utmost thanks to the women of earlier generations. The women who fought for the right to vote, burned their bras in protest, and made it okay for women to be smart (or in my case want to be).

Louisa May Alcott
Susan B. Anthony
Elizabeth Blackwell
Maya Lin
Dr. Sally Ride
Margaret Sanger
Margaret Thatcher
Harriet Tubman
Victoria Woodhull

Behind every great movement in history is a strong, intelligent woman.

Thank you women whose names are in textbooks and women who worked their lives toward a goal and did not get their names into our school lesson plan. Thank you for working hard. Thank you for not giving up. Thank you for being strong enough, smart enough, loud enough, and brave enough to make change happen.
