Women have been contributors to all aspects of society since the beginning of time.  Unfortunately, they were not always recognized or awarded for their efforts.  Take the time this Women’s History Month to learn about women who helped lay the foundations, provide support and did all they could to open doors of opportunity for us today.

To learn more about history of this observance,check out the Women’s History Month at the Library of Congress or National Women’s History Project.  Also, let us know about programs and events in Chicago.
