As Women’s History Month 2012 comes to a close, I am reflecting about how women made contributions throughout history. While books, recordings, and nationwide celebrations provide stories about what they did and how they did it, I feel compelled to appreciate more significant contributions. I want to know how they go to their respective platforms.
Women leaders took a stand when told to sit and be demure. They sat down when told not to. Others spoke out when silenced. But, the real story is that they had the courage to do so in the first place. No one told them to take action. They were driven by some other force within.
