March is National Women's History Month

This month we celebrate National Women’s History Month. In 1980, President Jimmy Carter – a truly Rogue Southern Gentleman – declared the week of  March 8 to be Women’s History Week.  Then in 1987, Congress very wisely expanded Women’s History Week to include the entire month of March.

The fuel behind this fire has been the National Women’s History Project, whose mission is to recognize the achievements of women in all areas of life – science, community, government, literature, art, sports, business and medicine.  Founded in 1980, they are celebrating their 30th anniversary with the theme “Writing Women Back into History”.

Here at the Rogue Southern Belle, we will celebrate National Women’s History Month by honoring some of the women of the South who have made incredible contributions to our lives. I’m thrilled to announce that we will be featuring some of these women as Honorary Rogue Belles and telling their story to the world so that they can be recognized.

So here’s our question to you: Famous, infamous or obscure – who is the one woman who has made the most difference in your life? Tell us your answer in the Comments section below or email me@roguesouthernbelle.com We may feature your female hero as an Honorary Rogue Belle!
