March is Women's History Month.

This month marks the 30th anniversary of Women's History Month. The theme of this particular month is "Writing Women Back into History." Women have not always had a voice in the way that they are treated but we know have the power to make our voices heard. In a time where our bodies are not our own and our rights can be taken away in the name of freedom at any moment, it has become our responsibility to stand up and make our voices heard. We must do this in order to honor the women that came before us and empower the generations that will follow us. Many women's voices have been lost but their spirit lives and we must keep their fire burning.We are taught about George Washington and Thomas Jefferson but never about Alice Paul or Lucretia Mott. We discuss the Declaration of Independence but never the Declaration of Sentiments that was introduced in Seneca Falls, NY in 1848. We must raise our voices louder until they are heard and paid attention to. We can no longer allow women's voices to be buried and forgotten.
