1. Thank you, because seriously, every month is women's history month.

2. You are certainly right!

I've been thinking about my high school history classes and women weren't included in much of what we learned. I've often thought of my 9th grade teacher who talked a lot about civil rights and I'm grateful since what he had to say has stuck with me. But as for women, I recall very little. In American History my friends and I were pretty proactive, I can remember us acting out scenarios about what we were learning - and I recall playing James Garfield and John Hancock!
