Women's History Month

Okay, I can't believe it's the last day of March, and I haven't said one thing about Women's History Month. Yikes! In honor of this month, I've compiled some of my favorite women below:

Michelle Obama - She's currently the First Lady, but she's certainly made history in a lot of ways. I love her style, confidence, intelligence, and her love for our President. She's definitely a role model!




Miriam Makeba - I read her biography when I was younger, and I just fell in love with her. She was a singer from South Africa who stood up to the Apartheid there. Her spirit and spunk left an impression on me. She passed away just a few months ago.


Margaret Sanger - I did a report on Sanger when I was in middle school, and I loved her bravery in championing for women's health. She never gave up - even when it was dangerous to keep going.




Mother Theresa - Her kindness is something that I aspire to (and fall short of!) each and every day. Her selflessness touched so many.







There are so many more women I could add to this list. The contributions we've made throughout history are tremendous. They serve as inspiration to do something great ourselves each and every day!
