March is Women’s History Month
By Cheryl W. Glenn
The Month of March is known for many things, including the start of Daylight Savings Time, St. Patrick’s Day celebrations and the beginning of spring.
But most recently, March is celebrated as Women’s History Month.
During this month we recognize and pay homage to those well-known women as well as the important women in our personal lives who have made considerable accomplishments and contributions to society.
Women have emerged from traditional jobs like secretaries and maids, to become attorneys, nurses, teachers, School Administrators, Writers and Directors, Actors and Producers.
On the political front, Kamala Harris is currently serving her first term as the first woman and the first African American woman to become Vice President. This is a notable and historic first.
Ketanji- Brown-Jackson being selected to become the First African American Judge to preside on the Supreme Court is historic as well. Though at this writing she has not been confirmed, women everywhere are praying that she gets the job.
As we approach the beginning of Holy Week and the celebration of Easter, we are reminded that women were the first ones on the scene at Jesus tomb when he arose.
The bible tells us in Luke 8:2 and Mark 16:9, that Mary Magdalene, Joanna and Mary, the mother of Jesus, were the first ones to discover Jesus had arisen.
Our mothers, aunts, cousins, sisters and friends are important women as they continue to care for and nurture families on a daily basis, having little free time.
Even during holidays and vacations, women for the most part, are always on duty with jobs like cooking and cleaning and performing other household duties which accompany domestic engineering roles.
There is a familiar saying that “A woman’s work is never done!” And women especially know that this is true.
We Salute Women worldwide during this Women’s History Month.
