Why is Women’s History Month important to you?
Women’s History Month is important to me because it causes men and women to keep their eyes on the ball! Some individuals, academics and non-academics alike, erroneously assume that women have achieved parity. That simply is not true here or abroad. For one example, in some countries, America included, young girls are forced into marriage. There was a recent report of a nine- year-old Afghan girl whose family sold her to a much older man who intended to marry her. These sorts of abuses against females must demand our outrage and our action. # Too Young to Wed
