March is Women’s History Month. Through the hard work of Joyce Morton we bring you this excellent glimpse of women - both local and national who we wish to recognize during this month. During this difficult time, not only in our nation but in our world, it is helpful and hopeful to take a look at the women that have made our world a better place.
