  In recognition of Women's History Month, “Weaving the Stories of Women’s Lives”

 

 

 

                                                                Every year the National Women’s History Project selects a unifying theme to be shared with all who want to promote

                                                                women’s history.  This year’s theme presents the opportunity to weave women’s stories – individually and collectively –

                                                                into the essential fabric of our nation’s history.  There is a real power in hearing women’s stories, both personally and

                                                                in a larger context.  Remembering and recounting tales of our ancestors’ talents, sacrifices, and commitments inspires

                                                                today’s generations and opens the way to the future.  Source: womenshistorymonth.gov
