Celebrating
Women’s History Month By SB SARVER
I
nternational Women’s Day took place this year all over the world on March 8, but did you know that March is officially Women’s History Month? For years women have left their mark on our hearts and in our world. There are 166.7 million living, working and playing in the U.S. And so many who are working mothers, caregivers and holding down more than one job. Plus, record numbers of women are returning to school and securing a higher education well into their 50s; and they’re making themselves seen and heard in media, especially social media such as blogs, podcasts and other forums (in fact, the largest age group of women in the U.S, now is 25-29). "Every day women are opening businesses, receiving degrees and advancing our world. This month we ask readers to take a moment to acknowledge someone special in your life, and in your community, who is making a difference – and, perhaps, making history." Sarver is Publisher of 919 Magazine, and a working mother of two sons.
