March is Women's History Month

March is a busy month in Congress, but we can’t forget to honor the women who have been influential in our lives and communities. During Women’s History Month, we recognize and celebrate the many achievements of women. It’s important that we take this time to remember the great contributions of women to this great nation. From Betsy Ross and the American flag and Susan B. Anthony in the fight for women’s voting rights to Rosa Parks and her bus ride for civil rights, women have made an impact on every facet of our nation’s past, present and future.

I encourage you to take this opportunity to thank the important women in your life for all they do, not just this month, but every month out of the year. To learn more about Women’s History Month, visit the Library of Congress website.
