a bit of history behind Women's History Month:

Women’s History Month had its origins as a national celebration in 1981 when Congress passed Pub. L. 97-28 which authorized and requested the President to proclaim the week beginning March 7, 1982 as “Women’s History Week.” Throughout the next five years, Congress continued to pass joint resolutions designating a week in March as “Women’s History Week.” In 1987 after being petitioned by the National Women’s History Project, Congress passed Pub. L. 100-9 which designated the month of March 1987 as “Women’s History Month.” Between 1988 and 1994, Congress passed additional resolutions requesting and authorizing the President to proclaim March of each year as Women’s History Month. Since 1995, Presidents Clinton, Bush and Obama have issued a series of annual proclamations designating the month of March as “Women’s History Month.”

It's the little things citizens do.

My little thing is planting trees. 

Wangari Maathai

Remembering Wangari Maathai, First African Woman to Win Nobel Prize



Wangari Maathai was an amazing woman who did amazing things just following her heart, doing what she knew in her heart was the right thing to do.  She empowered women and fought for the environment.  I highly recommend that you learn more about her and her work, the Green Belt Movement!

may this dress bring us all courage to face what we need to face!

Courage is nothing less than the power

To overcome danger, misfortune, fear, injustice,

While continuing to affirm inwardly

That life with all its sorrows is good;

That everything is meaningful even if in a sense

Beyond our understanding;

And there is always tomorrow. 

Dorothy Thompson 

(9 July 1893 – 30 January 1961)

was an American journalist and radio broadcaster, who in 1939 was recognized by Time magazine as the second most influential woman in America next to Eleanor Roosevelt.[1] She is notable as the first American journalist to be expelled from Nazi Germany in 1934 and as one of the few women news commentators on radio during the 1930s.[2] She is regarded by some as the "First Lady of American Journalism."[3]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorothy_Thompson
