Happy Spring from all of us at Total Networks!
March is National Women’s History Month
In 1981, Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) and Rep. Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) cosponsored the first Joint Congressional Resolution proclaiming a “Women’s History Week.” It became a month-long, national observance in 1987, with bipartisan support and by the proclamations of five presidents. Each year, a unifying theme is chosen.
This year’s theme is Women’s Education – Women’s Empowerment. Women now outnumber men in our colleges and universities. The accomplishment took the efforts of thousands of women of every culture through many decades. For centuries experts argued against women’s education. In America, Radcliffe opened in 1879 for female students, but it took Harvard two centuries before they admitted women students.
During the last 35 years, women have transformed both the educational and business landscapes of our nation. The more they achieve, the more effective they become. They encourage girls and other women to think bigger and bolder and to leave their mark on our future social and economic worlds.
