Catching Up on Women’s History Month

Things got a little behind so here’s a few women in one post for you!

First, the Notorious RBG. Ruth Bader Ginsberg has moved women forward legally for decades. She saw the long-game from the start. I highly suggest the recent documentary about her, RBG.

Of course, there are a thousand other places to find info about this incredible woman, but it’s just a really good film.

Next, let’s stick with the SCOTUS thing. Judge Sonia Sotomayer was the first latina judge appointed to the Supreme Court. Read more about her.

Frida Kahlo is always worth a look. I can’t even begin to describe how amazing she is. The most notable thing for me, though, is that all my friends know who Frida Kahlo is. I’m not sure many of them could name her husband, even though when they were alive he was the celebrity, and she was seen as his “little wife” who dabbled in art.

Jovita Idar was a journalist, a Mexican-American activist and supporter of women’s rights.

Lilian Bland was the first woman to design and build an airplane and she’s pretty amazing!

Alright, hope that was a good makeup for the few days I took off. Who are you learning about this month?
