 Women make up more than 50% of the population, so where are we in history? I was taught that there are two sides to every story, but the American story has mostly been written from just one side. I think that the future of our nation is dependent on the continuation of a diversity that made us healthy and strong and unique. Not acknowledging this full shared story of America has cost us. It's robbed us of our natural path, once forged, but then forgotten. And oh how hard we've worked to find it again. It's very important to include our story as immigrants and as Native-born Americans and our contributions. Without it, there are holes as big as Swiss cheese in the American story. It's so important to recognize the contributions, the progress that has been made by women throughout the ages. If we don't honor the accomplishments, leadership, and vision of all the people, including women, then we really haven't told the full American story, have we?
