Women's History Month

Esther and MordecaiImage via WikipediaThe month of March is set aside as a time when we celebrate and honor women for the great strides they have made here in the US and around the world. The women's movement was started in 1848 by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and a small group of friends as a way to air their greivances at being treated as second-class citizens. The movement snowballed into a widespread outcry that swept the world and changed the way women were seen and treated by their male counterparts.
