Two women that continue to inspire me areĀ Geraldine Ferraro, the first woman to be nominated to be vice president of the United States, and Shirley Chisholm the first African-American to be a major party candidate for president of the United States.Ā Neither of these women won their political races, but I can just image what they had to go through not only from men, but from women who believed they should stay in a “woman’s place”.Ā They paved the way.
We all have women who have inspired us in someĀ form or fashion, tell us about them.Ā Ā Ā
Remember “thisisyourbestyear”!Ā Let’s not only celebrate, let’s honor women all year.
Because of those that paved the way, we are able to do whatever we desire.
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Don’t forget to tell us about the women who have inspired you.
