National Womens History Month
I restarted my new year on February 24th. I sat down with a friend of mine and we decided to celebrate off holidays and use this year to learn and grow with monthly themes and celebrations. March is National Womens History Month. I started doing my research and was surprised to find out that every year the President has to make a “Presidentail Proclamation on Women’s History Month” .
The 2007 Women’s History Month theme is Generations of Women Moving History Forward.
So what am I going to do to celebrate NWHM? I plan on buying books by some of my favorite childhood female authors and donating them to my sons school. I also want to read at least one biography about a woman who fought for our right to vote and/or equallity and then doante the biography to Igby’s school as well. I also want to learn about less famous women who have made an impact on my world as it is today such as Margaret Sanger. She fought for womens reproductive rights. I also want to learn about lesser known female artists too. I also want show more support in my community for local female artists. (I know the last one will involve actually leaving my house… 
)
I have a few other ideas brewing.... lets see what the month will bring.
