From the desk of the Editor,

"I think about how much we owe to the women who went before us - legions of women, some known but many more unknown. I applaud the bravery and resilience of those who helped all of us - you and me - to be here today." Ruth Bader Ginsburg,Supreme Court Justice

They were... mothers,daughters,sisters,aunts,teachers,nurses,lawyers,authors,poets,speakers, advocates,activist,some known and some unknown each uniting together to achieve one goal the establishment and progression of Women's Rights,it is through this one common goal that today a myriad of women and citizens is able to identify as a part of Women's History.Comprised of women from various cultures,socio-economic backgrounds,and education,Women's History is an important part of American history and not only American History,World History. From educators,to pioneers,to founders,to leaders,women all across the globe and throughout the United States has been making history for decades. Women's History isnt just a historical fact;it is a timed honored rich tradition that honors and recognizes the achievements and contributions of women during the progression of the United States and neighboring countries. So as this country has evolved;so has Women's History, from the suffragist movement,to voting rights , to the world's first Women's Right Convention,to equal opportunity,Women's History has been making waves across the United States for generations. Through trial,adversity,and obstacles, many of the women honored and recognized in Women History overcame insurmountable odds to push the progression of Women's Rights, the improvement of the quality of women's lives at home and in the work place as well as promote the improvement of social conditions for all women. In 1980, a middle school student,a pre teen, I was just beginning to maturate,focus on my studies,and of all things the opposite sex__ boys, at a time when the National Women's History Project(NWHP) in its rudimentary stages had begun to promote,and advocate writing Women back into history specifically classroom textbooks. Three decades later, the National Women's History Project continues to educate,advocate and promote Women's History. Towards the end of February National Women's History Project announced it 2014 theme for the year "Celebrating Women of Character,Courage,and Commitment" With only days away from the National Women's History Project recognition its honorees for 2014 in Washington DC, I'd wanted to show my support and recognition of National Women's History with mention of the day and through reading a few important historical moments in Women's History. Furthermore, I also want encourage each of you to visit the National Women's History Project website @ nwhp.org. Women's History derived from the work of countless women through tenacity,skill, and determination who saw a disparity and inequality and fought to bridge the rift .
