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.
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…
