Women's history month has definately made a difference for women and girls. We have begun to hear OUR story, Herstory. I'd love to see it renamed accordingly. Words matter! Next year how about Women's Herstory Month? The renaming alone will have a 'silent' but huge intellectual impact for all! I've had to work hard to instill herstory into the awareness of my awesome daughter because of the general blight of 'history' in terms of it's narrow and often intentionally limited story.
