History? How About Herstory
What do Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, conservationist Jane Goodall and the founder of Burt’s Bees, Roxanne Quimby, all have in common? Each one of these women has significantly contributed to making Mother Earth a greener, healthier and safer place. Following in these footsteps, the theme of this year’s National Women’s History Month is Women Taking the Lead to Save Our Planet.
What began in California in 1978 with just a single week dedicated to recognizing the history of women has since grown to encompass the entire month of March. Whether you’re teaching your child about the founding mothers of our country or telling stories about your own mother, we encourage you to help make National Women’s History Month last all year!
