Women's History Month

Did you know that March is Women's History Month? There are only a few days left, but we should celebrate everyday! I may be partial, but my opinion is that women are amazing. :)

Here's a good question:
  • She opened “Hull House” in a run–down Chicago neighborhood, a community center to improve conditions for poor immigrants. The program of English–language classes, childcare, health education and recreational opportunities soon inspired hundreds of other settlement houses throughout the country. Her name?

I'm always listening to music in my office, so for the rest of this month I'll specifically be listening to groups/bands with females and female artists. Ask who I'm listening to!

-Ms. Miller

(The answer is Jane Addams (1860–1935)! One of the first generation of female college graduates at a time when the world was not yet ready to give educated women positions of responsibility, found her own way to lead a useful life. She won the 1931 Nobel Peace Prize for her lifetime dedication to the cause of international peace.)
