As of March 1, 2022, Women’s History Month began. The theme for this year is “Women who provide healing and promote hope”. This theme is meant to recognize how women have contributed throughout the world as caretakers, particularly in the medical field as nursing tends to be a female-dominated field.
Women’s History Month is meant to recognize many of the overlooked women in both history and in the present day. It continues to be important in working towards equality for all people by bringing together women from all walks of life and all around the globe.
Throughout the month of March, our section of journalism will be writing an article each week to recognize the importance of three women and all of their contributions. Our articles for the next three weeks will be written about Frances Harper, Nellie Bly, and Clara Barton.
This month is a chance for people to reflect on the important women in their own lives as well as those making developments in the present day.
