Yesterday was Women Day around the world . Here in America we celebrate women during the whole month of March. I love this so much Iwill repeat: “Our shared history unites families, communities, and nations. Although womens’ history is intertwined with the history shared with men, several factors – social, religious, economic, and biological – have worked to create a unique sphere of womens’ history”.
Here are some more wonderful times and women who helped bring this day to us: First womens’-rights convention meets in Seneca Falls NY 1848. Our thanks to Wyoming Territory – they were the first to grant women the vote in 1869! Californian Julia Morgan is the first woman admitted to the Ecole de Beaux-Arts in Paris 1898. Amelia Earhart is the first woman to cross the Atlantic in an airplane 1928. The All-American Girls Professional Baseball League becomes the first professional baseball league for femal players 1943 – play ball!!
Then there is the everyday woman……the pioneer that is in us all. Doing the everyday chores, loving our families, towing the line to the finish. I celebrate you today, all month long and forever.
