Well Women’s history month is here and how there is much history in women’s history and how we could just hold it for one month and of courses we had to put at the start of the year. I think about how many women had to fight for today’s normal rights but now we are losing more and more every day. I am here to give a couple of my favorite facts about women’s history month and also how a couple of my favorite women.
