Happy National Women’s Day
Times are changing in terms of gender roles and equality is the greatest goal. With this year’s theme being #balanceforbetter, it is an international statement of total fairness; not just for women. The theme concentrates on a future where both men and women can be equal in professional status, media perception, and more. While there are many women that have shaped our country and made great impacts on our history; today I want to acknowledge the women that are changing our future.
Here are just a few of the women in our country, creating a path for women to continue to be intelligent, strong, and a force of change………
