“this week the congressional caucus for women's issues is kicking off our program for National Women's History Month. We celebrate Women's History Month because, for too long, history has only meant his story. Women's contributions have to often gone unnoticed and unappreciated. Now is the time to get to know her story. Now is the time to talk about women's accomplishments; women's contributions; and what we need to do to make the future brighter for our daughters--as well as our sons. However, women can only make history when they have been educated, and America has a long way to go before educational equality is achieved. In honor of Women's History Month, please join me at a briefing on gender equity in education, this Thursday, March 7, at 1 p.m. in 311 Cannon. At this event, we will see how far we have come, and how far we need to go, to make America's schools the best in the world for both boys and girls. Women make history all year around, but March is Women's History Month. It deserves our attention.”
