March just happens to be National Women’s History Month. As a young girl in school I barely remember hearing about women’s historical contributions outside of Dolly Madison and Harriet Tubman. In an article in the Feb/Mar issue of NAWBOtime, the newsletter of the National Association of Women Business Owners, I found a link to the National Women’s History Project. If you have some time to visit this site I urge you to do so. I learned a great deal about who is currently being honored for their work and how to celebrate the power and impact of women in history. I also tried my hand at their “Test Your Knowledge of Women’s History” quiz to embarrassing results. Here is a sample question:

“Who opened up social work as a profession for women, and also won the 1931 Nobel Peace Prize for her anti-war organizing work?”

Do you know the answer? (I should have but I didn’t). Visit this link to find out http://www.nwhp.org/whm/test.php and remember to take time to give credit to the women who have shaped our lives today.
