March is Women's History Month

March is Women's History month. This is not as well known as Black History Month and most schools do not celebrate Woman's History Month.
Last year when I was a Moderator on Hillary's Village I worked on a Woman's History thread and was amazed about a lot of different things that women have done throughout history. I want to know why this is not celebrated in schools. Are girl children supposed to continue to think they haven't paid any part of history. They just were the mothers, daughters, and sisters of men.
It is time for schools to celebrate Women's History month. March is special for me because I now have two beautiful granddaughters who were born in March.
I have a brand new granddaughter born on the first day of Spring in 2010 and another one who turned one. I am watching my children become adults. I am celebrating not only the history of women but also the future.

Woman's Equality Day and the Passage of the 19TH Amendment

Today is the anniversary of the passage of the Right to Vote for women. Woman's Equality day is set aside each year to pay homage to all the great women who fought for Suffrage for women. We have come a long way but there is still more road to travel. We have yet to get a woman to the White House. We still have a sexist media out there that vilify strong women like Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin. We still have to worry about earning the same pay for the same work as men. Women are still underrepresented in congress and on the Supreme Court.
Despite the Chris Brown verdict men who assault their wives or girlfriends are given slaps on the wrist. The Secretary of State Hillary Clinton traveled to the Congo to speak out against sexual violence and what happened the media was to concerned with Hillary's exchange with the Congo Student who asked a sexist question or the interpreter did. I guess the media prefers idle gossip to issues of importance to 51% of the population.
