Throughout the month of March, we highlight . Organized by the school district of Sonoma, California, in 1978, Women's History Month was created to reshape American patriarchal history that largely neglected women's achievements. As we recognize Women's History Month, try to learn more about pioneering women, explore unfamiliar women like public health advocate, who was the first Native American to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom and Nobel Prize recipient , pharmacologist and biochemist, who invented an immunosuppressive drug key to organ transplants.

As we celebrate this year's national theme, ",鈥� we honor the frontline workers and caregivers who have devoted so much of themselves to care for others during the COVID-19 pandemic. We also pay tribute to women throughout history who have made impactful strides in the pursuit of healing, hope, and equality for all. Women have long been leaders in the fight for human rights and have been influencers for significant change. From 鈥� 1776 plea to her husband John Adams and the Continental Congress to 鈥榥ot forget about women鈥� in their fight for America鈥檚 independence, to elected as the first female to hold the position of Vice President of the United States, women continue to move toward a more equitable future.

Let us continue to be mindful of the importance of our own self-work (educating oneself). Questioning conventional paradigms and disrupting the social norms that define women as inferior; this includes, discrimination, disregard, control, oppression, exploitation, and violence of women.
