What does Women's History Month mean to you?

"As women, we seek to respect and emulate those women who have an inner beauty,  creativity and show great strength along the paths of their lives—regardless of circumstances. The friendships among women are unique as we support each other. Our role in society is unique as we bring life into the world and nurture those around us. Women's History Month helps me to see beyond myself."
