This is the second part of a post about celebrating women leaders for National Women's History Month. I am very grateful for the many women before me who fought for some of the rights and freedoms that we take for granted today. How are you creating a path for younger women to follow? Sometimes I wonder if I am doing enough for others, that I am making a difference.
The theme for National Women's History Month is “Women Inspiring Innovation Through Imagination: Celebrating Women in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.” Had I been more organized, for the last post, I would have excluded the women in science and saved them for this post.
