Send us Fan Mail

March is Women's History Month, and with International Women's Day having just passed, it's the perfect time to celebrate WOMEN and their contributions to the world.

Brittany investigates the history of Women's History Month and International Women's Day, spotlighting some famous women in U.S. history, as well as recent times globally. She also spotlights several women that she looks up to (though the list is by no means comprehensive).

Let's take this opportunity to remember all the amazing work and accomplishments done by women throughout history, and to appreciate and support the women in our lives today.
