International Women’s Day 2023

March 8, 2023

To celebrate International Women’s Day, we would like to highlight a few important figures in history. Watch the video below:

 

They called her a cyclone, a woman of flame.

Laura Cornelius Kellogg’s the name.

She fought to preserve what was dwindling and few

In an age where the old was swallowed by new.

 

While across the vast sea, Mary’s life would begin

In an ongoing battle that she struggled to win.

Mary Tape had the victory, but it was just a prequel

For a decision that claimed we are “separate but equal.”

 

Jane Cooke Wright, a physician researcher.

She stood with the few to start the fight against cancer.

They developed chemotherapy, a light in the dark

For the millions of patients to fight with a spark.

 

From ground control down to the space up high

Sally Ride really was born to fly.

Flew the Challenger, twice, then continued to teach

Young girls and boys nothing’s out of their reach.

 

These are just a few of the voices to hear

From the women in history throughout the years.

As we look to the future, we look to the past

And see the bright works that have come to pass.
