Remembering Our Foremothers

Celebrated during women’s history month, International Women's Day, March 8, marks that

watershed moment when women around the world joined forces to organize and fight for the

most basic rights. We remember that the tremendous accomplishments of women in Art,

Industry, Science, and Politics came on the backs of foremothers who worked in the fields and

labored in the factories by day, cared for the families at night, and marched for fair and equal

treatment on the weekends. We especially salute the courage of the brave women in war zones,

from the Ukraine to Yemen to Africa—soldiers, mothers, wives, sisters, daughters—who

struggle for the right to live and work in peace with their loved ones.
