“today the first female chief executive from Africa addressed a joint session of Congress. In order to commemorate this historic event, I rise to recognize Women's History Month. March is a time to celebrate the women who have played a pivotal role in America's history. Women have always played a crucial role in building the great history of this country, and the women of my home State, Nevada, are no different. One who comes to mind is Sarah Winnemucca, an influential native woman whom we honored last year by making her the second of Nevada's statues in Congress. Born to a Paiute chief's family around 1844, Sarah was unusually driven to bridge the gulf between Native Americans and Caucasian settlers. Dedicated to helping her people, Sarah used her talents as an English translator, public speaker, negotiator, and educator. Women's History Month is a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the accomplishments and contributions of famous women like Sarah, but there are many untold stories of women just like her whose names we don't know and whose lives have made America a place of strength, freedom, and hope. Their stories are echoed in the contributions that women across the country make every day, whether at home, in the community, in the workplace, or on the battlefield. More than just to paying them tribute, I am committed to honoring them by fighting for a more just, prosperous, and worthy nation.…”
