Women's History Month: Inspiration Quotes Theme

"When I started working on women's history about thirty years ago, 
the field did not exist. People didn't think that women had a history 
worth knowing." 
=Gerda Lerner, Women and History (1986; 1993)= 

The theme for my “Inspiration Quotes Community" 
is the celebration of women and Women's History Month! This month I 
will post quotes from women, please feel free to contribute your favorite 
positive quotes by women. 

Women's History Month is an annual declared month worldwide that 
highlights the contributions of women to events in history and 
contemporary society. It is celebrated during March in the United States, 
the United Kingdom, and Australia, corresponding with International 
Women's Day on March 8, and during October in Canada, corresponding 
with the celebration of Persons Day on October 18.
