Keep Marching!

Jacqui Fishman

"The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex"
Thanks to the courage and determination of so many women over 70 years of protest and perseverance on this day, August 18, 1920, the Constitution was amended to ensure that the right to vote cannot be denied on account of sex. It would be another five decades before the vote was secured for ALL, and the fight continues, but…
This Girl Can Vote!…and She Will!

The vote is the emblem of your equality, women of America, the guarantee of your liberty.
Women have suffered agony of soul which you can never comprehend, that you and
your daughters might inherit political freedom.
That vote has been costly. Prize it!
The vote is a power, a weapon of
offense and defense, a prayer.
Understand what it means and what it can do for your country. Use it intelligently, conscientiously, prayerfully.
— ~Carrie Chapman Catt

Why Do We Study Women's History?

Jacqui Fishman

“Well behaved women rarely make history”

~ Eleanor Roosevelt


Why do we study women's history? The lives and the stories of women, their role in, and their impact on, our history have mostly been hidden.

We say it all the time, ” We cannot be what we cannot see.” We need to know women's stories, we need to look to them as models, as beacons of inspiration to follow as we build our goals and pursue our dreams. Learning about the lives and experiences of those trailblazing women who defied expectations and often risked their lives to achieve their goals will help us envision who we can become.

History is filled with the stories of women and girls just like YOU! What makes their experiences important? These girls and women found their own way, they defied societal norms and commands, and they bravely and independently pushed down doors, ignorance, harassment, and even threats to their lives and well-being.

Ensuring that every woman's story is heard and respected provides all little girls, and not-so-little girls, with the opportunities to understand and to know they too can realize the power of their dreams because there was someone who came before them who lived a life and showed that Yes! This Girl Can! Change the World.

As we wind down this #WomensHistoryMonth we share our hope that every day EVERY girl will believe that Yes! She can make #HERstory. We are dedicated to celebrating the hidden history of all women every day, not just in March. We cheer the rule-breakers, the trailblazers, the fearless, and the indefatigable who said Yes! #ThisGirlCan! Change the World. Now it is your turn-and we cannot wait to see YOU make HERstory.

"Invest in Women, Accelerate Progress" #InternationalWomensDay

Jacqui Fishman

On this #InternationalWomensDay we celebrate the lives, stories, work, and leadership of the women who blazed so many trails for girls and women all over the world.  We honor their work and legacy by committing to advance gender equity, ensuring that EVERY girl can live in safety, unlocking access to education denied to so many, and fulfilling the promise that all girls can live in a world that fosters their potential. It is vital that girls everywhere have access to the education, security, and well-being that will help them grow into amazing women who can change not only their own lives but their neighborhoods, their communities, and … their planet! 

We need to commit to opening any door that any girl wants to enter, and guarantee her the future of her choosing with every opportunity possible to realize the power of her dreams because This Girl Can! Change the World! ...and she will.

We honor the work of Girls Opportunity Alliance, UN Women, Room to Read, Razia's Ray of Hope Foundation Foundation, Malala Fund, and all the amazing organizations working to support girls around the globe.
