Women's History Month Celebrating Women Who Shaped Our World

Join us in celebrating the achievements of remarkable women and get inspired by their stories! This month, we recommend watching the documentary on Pauli Murray, an American civil rights activist, lawyer, gender equality advocate, Episcopal priest, and author whose intersectionality has been a true inspiration to our team. We see why according to one journalist, Pauli Murray should be a household name and this new film shows why.

Here are some inspiring women who have made significant contributions in their fields and continue to inspire by their powerful legacies:

Wangari Maathai - Kenyan environmental and political activist who founded the Green Belt Movement, a grassroots organization that focused on planting trees, environmental conservation, and women's rights.

Dolores Huerta -American labor leader and civil rights activist who co-founded the United Farm Workers (UFW) union and fought for the rights of farm workers, immigrants, and women.

Asieh Amini - Iranian poet, journalist, and women's rights activist who advocates for human rights, particularly the elimination of stoning and juvenile executions in Iran.

Cecilia Chung - transgender activist and advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and HIV/AIDS awareness, particularly for the transgender community.

Florence Kelley - American social reformer who worked on issues related to labor conditions, child labor laws, women's suffrage, and racial equality.

Jane Addams - American social activist, suffragist, and Nobel Peace Prize laureate who co-founded the settlement house movement and worked on issues related to social justice, women's rights, and peace advocacy.

Let us celebrate the achievements of these incredible women, and recognize the importance of their contributions to society. They inspire us to continue striving for progress and change in our own fields, and to never give up on our goals and dreams. As we honor Women's History Month, let us also commit to uplifting and supporting women in all aspects of life, and working towards a more equal and just world for all.
