(Updated monthly)

For hundreds of years women have shaped our world, but for some reason I received little information about this fact from my schooling. Life taught me that “her story” is just as important as “his story.”  Knowing both can help build a stronger relationship between us all.

That is why I have spent my life diving into the lives of other women who, had I not sought out their information, I may never have known. Women of science, medicine, politics, religion, and war. Women of arts, culture, sports, business and our humanitarians.

Around the globe there are examples of these women; travel with me across time and the miles to know these WOMEN OF INFLUENCE.
