Wendy’s Window-The International Women of Courage Celebration Comes to Los Angeles!

Wendy GladneyMarch 7, 2019

In 1980, President Jimmy Carter proclaimed the first week of March as Women’s History Week. Seven years later, Congress declared the entire month of March as Women’s History Month. I find it sadly ironic that we need legislative reminders to celebrate and remember the accomplishments of various people and communities. However, I am grateful that the work of women is being celebrated nonetheless! Across the country, March 8thhas been designated as, “International Women’s Day” where people celebrate and honor women worldwide.
