Remember, Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did, but she did it backwards and in high heels ~ Faith Whittlesey

When I was younger I often wished that I had been born a man.

Local women who changed the world

As a transplanted Albertan, I am immensely proud of these local women who changed the world.

I was convinced that women could not be leaders in the world.

I doubted anyone even took women seriously.

Today I know that this is simply not true.

I have met many women who have changed the world.

Women who have worked tirelessly to turn their vision into reality.

Perhaps the most unrecognized of these are moms who have taught their children to believe in themselves and their dreams.

March is Women’s History Month in the USA, UK and several other countries.

And to honour Women’s History Month I want to celebrate women…

Florence Nightingale changed the nursing profession forever
Emily Dickinson, Poet
Emmeline Panchurst, advocate for women’s rights
Harriet Beecher Stowe, life-long anti-slavery campaigner

Helen Keller, campaigner for the deaf and blind
Jane Austen, popular author
Marie Curie, Nobel Prize winner – twice
Mother Teresa, life-long service to the poor

Do you know an amazing woman?

There really is no shortage of women who have changed the world.
