March marks the beginning of Women’s History Month in America, a time that allows society to celebrate the many contributions women have made to improve the world around them. Women have played roles, challenged norms and paved the way to progress throughout American history, whether it was Susan B. Anthony marching for women’s suffrage or Kathrine Virginia Switzer running in the Boston Marathon. Despite these women being completely different, both women faced their challenges and left a positive impact on society and inspired other women to complete their dreams.
Women’s History Month also gives us a chance to celebrate the women in our lives who we see on a daily basis, it’s easy to only focus on those we read about in our textbooks. While it’s important to learn about these individuals, Women’s History Month allows us to celebrate our mothers, grandmothers, sisters, friends and teachers. It’s important to learn about the experiences they have had and the insight they can give for the future.
This Women’s History Month it’s important to celebrate the women at SCHS who lead us, teach us and encourage us.
