Gaining Strength from Women
March has arrived once again, and not only do we celebrate spring, but we have the honor and responsibility of celebrating women through National Women’s History Month. I want to connect with others—men and women—in the contributions women are making to the past, present, and future. Each year, I look for new ways to recognize […]
Why We Need Women’s History Month
Another Women’s History Month has come and gone. It’s important to reflect on how it started and why continue it each year. An awakening began in the U.S. in the 1970s. Women were largely invisible in the history books. For that matter, so were Americans of different races. A group in California decided to hold […]
Native American Women in History
When recognizing women past and present, many heroines are white. Increasing numbers of African American women are finally being recognized—Sojourner Truth, Bessie Coleman, Mae Jamison, Condoleezza Rice, Lena Horne, Rosa Parks, Harriet Tubman. Still, it’s only a fraction of the great women. What about Native American women? Can you name notable Native American women in […]
Women’s History Month Arrives Again
2/28/15 Today is the last day of Black History Month. Tomorrow is the first day of Women’s History Month. Native American Heritage Month lands each November.

Why Women’s History Month?
As we close out another Women’s History Month, I have to admit to mixed feelings about this recognition. Do we need this month or do we acknowledge contributions of a special few for a month and then forget them for the rest of the year? Women don’t make history one month out of the year. […]

- And they lived happily ever after…I’m going to let you in on a secret. I like fairy tales. Any type of fairy tales. Classic, modern, and mash-up’s. G-rated and dark, disturbing tales. I enjoy fairy tales across all mediums—books, television, and movies. Outside of fairy tales and perhaps Tolkien, I’m not a huge fantasy ban, but fairy tales…let’s just say […]
- Let’s Hear Those Stories!It’s February, and that means it’s African American History Month. Next month is Women’s History Month. And fitting to both is Hidden Figures, both the book and the movie. Author Margot Lee Shetterly knew two of the women highlighted in her book because her father also worked at Langley. But her husband had never heard […]
