Women's History Month: A Celebration of Inspiring Women

3/21/2018

In 1987, after being petitioned by the National Women's History Project, Congress declared March to be Women's History Month. Today, the Library of Congress, National Archives and Records Administration, National Endowment for the Humanities, National Gallery of Art, National Park Service, Smithsonian Institution and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum work together to commemorate and encourage the study, observance and celebration of the vital role of women in American history. We chose to add our voices to the chorus by highlighting some of the women who have inspired us most, starting with Dr. Carla Hayden, the first woman and first African American to hold the post of Librarian of Congress.

Though her life was cut short by the ravages of the Holocaust, Anne left behind her "Diary of a Young Girl" and other writings, all of which demonstrated an unrelenting belief in the power of the human spirit.



Mary E.P. Kalbfleisch
Erica's paternal grandmother was a code breaker in World War II, her husband's superior officer, a shill in Reno (where she secured a divorce at a time when that just wasn't done) the mother of three rambunctious boys and a chemist at Pond's.

​Helen Frank
Anne's maternal grandmother was a true force of nature, mother of four, grandmother to five, psychotherapist, world traveler, amateur poet, avid CSPAN fan and foodie, she delighted in defying societal conventions and was a woman ahead of her time.
These are just a few of the women who inspire us everyday. Who inspires you?
