National Women's History Month

There's a lot of anti-feminism in the news as of late, and it's been driving me batty. I don't want to use my blog as a political platform, and I don't want to be grumpy on the internet. Still, there are certain organizations, often organized by women themselves, that would like us to forget that this is National Women's History Month, that deny that women are still struggling to be recognized as equals, and who think feminists are the cause of their own unhappiness. It's enough to make me scream. Luckily, I stumbled upon this amazing website, ACTUALLY donated to Women's History Month. It's poignant, interactive, and my new obsession. There are profiles of everyone from some of the world's most famous women to the grandmother's of people you've never heard of. The best part? You can add your own story/your mother's story/your grandmother's story/etc./etc. Click here to honor the pioneering and influential women of yesterday and today.
