Women in History

This week will bring March, and Women's History Month, to a close. I chose my photo with Rosa Parks on a city bus as this week's photo to showcase a famous woman from history. What I like about Rosa is that she was an ordinary woman who did an extraordinary thing without really thinking about it. She reminds me of the women in my life, all of whom are ordinary women living their day-to-day lives but who do extraordinary things and serve as examples of what it means to be brave and strong. These women, who regularly give me pats on the head or who buy me cookies and toys, have braved the Seventies as single moms, blazed trails into professional careers traditionally held by men, and continually seek out new opportunities to improve themselves and the lives around them.

Thank goodness for strong women!
