<\/a><\/p>\n Although this month is already underway, it\u2019s not too late to join women all over the United States, United Kingdom and Australia in observing Women\u2019s History Month. The 31-day celebration has been set aside to acknowledge and pay tribute to all women for their contributions throughout history and in society at large. Canadians will recognize this time in October.<\/p>\n You may be wondering, “Why do we need to designate a particular month to learn about women?” As recently as the 1970s, women\u2019s history<\/a> was not a part of American children\u2019s grade school curriculum or recognized by the general public as being an integral part of the country\u2019s overall development.<\/p>\n Fast forward some years later and by 1987 President Ronald Reagan proclaimed that all citizens should esteem the roles women have had in shaping their homes, schools, communities, government and so much more. This since has been an honored tradition by every following president<\/a>.<\/p>\n Following this year\u2019s theme, “Women Inspiring Innovation Through Imagination: Celebrating Women in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics,” I\u2019ve included five ways women of today are making strides in changing the world around them!<\/p>\n Louise Otto (Luise Otto-Peters), a famous German feminist, said “The history of all times, and of today especially, teaches that… women will be forgotten if they forget to think about themselves.” We\u2019d love to hear how you are building a legacy of appreciation, knowledge and respect for all women, especially those who are a part of your life.<\/p>\n Image Credit:<\/strong> Royal Free Archive Centre<\/a> via photopin<\/a> cc<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Although this month is already underway, it\u2019s not too late to join women all over the United States, United Kingdom and Australia in observing Women\u2019s History Month.
