This is a four part series running through the month of March. You might want to check out part 3, part 2 and part 1!Woohooo! We are wrapping up March and National Women’s History Month!
My first choice for this final Tuesday was Sarah Winnemucca (the first Native American woman to have a copy write and publish in English). Then, I talked myself out of it. I wanted the last person in my spotlight to be stellar.
I started doing some research on women in ancient times like Hypatia (the first woman of mathematics), Neferitit (changed Egypt from polytheistic to monotheistic) and Mary Magdalen (told the disciples the good news).
Saying I didn’t learn interesting things would be unfair! Still, none really struck me as THE one.
Momentarily I thought maybe what I was missing were women currently impacting us. Like Maya Angelou (first woman poet to recite at an inauguration), Ann Dunwoody (our Commander General) or Hillary and Michelle (surely you know these two).
I can’t say exactly when my thoughts turned to myself and other women. Women I know today – who I’ve known in my life – and what we are doing, what we are ALL doing, to write history.
Consider women who have changed your life forever. What women would you not want erased from your past? Then ask yourself, as I have many times over the last couple of hours, “What have I done in my life that will change someone’s life forever?”
Here is your chance to write yourself or another woman into history…
