So what does difference does a month make?  Women are now part of our study of history. Women are making history with growing leadership roles in government and business--public and private sectors. The curriculum materials for students of all ages have changed. Women's History Month has inspired essay contests in schools, special programs and local and national resolutions.

The 2009 theme is Women Taking the Lead to Save our Planet. Rachel Carson, the founder of the environmental movement is being featured. One hundred women are honored for their leadership in protecting our environment.  For more information visit the National Women's History Project website-  www.nwhp.org/ 

Think about how huge and recent this change has been!  Head to your library in person and online to keep track of where we've been, where we're going….and where YOU want to be. At your library you are Free2 plant history and grow tomorrow.
