"Our History is Our Strength"

Since 1981, the month of March has been deemed “Women’s History Month”. Each year, the National Women’s History project decides on a unifying theme, with this years being “Our History is Our Strength”. They go on to explain the theme by stating, “Our shared history unites families, communities, and nations. Although women’s history is intertwined with the history shared with men, several factors - social, religious, economic, and biological - have worked to create a unique sphere of women's history.”

We could endlessly argue about how far women have come over the past century, or even since the 80s, as well as what has set us back. It seems most important, though, to remember the women who make these changes whether behind the force of government change, or behind a guitar and a thundering amp. There’s no arguing here- these women rock! So, take a few moments to enjoy the reverb of femininity and the playlist to our Women’s History Month.
