As we wrap up March and Women’s History Month, remember that women and girls are still making history today and changing the world. I want to highlight a few modern sheroes in hopes that they will inspire you to pursue your passions:

  • Shanya Gill, invented a fire detection system to warn of house fires
  • Catherine Drysdale, the first woman to win the Antarctic Ice Marathon
  • Tejasvi Manoj, created a website and app to protect seniors from online scams
  • Bohlale Mphahlele, invented the “Alerting Earpiece” to protect women and girls from attackers
  • Cécile Hernandez, the oldest medallist ever in Para snowboard
  • Jordan Sucato, raised money to protect homeless dogs' paws from the heat
  • Mckenna “Mak” Whitham, the youngest player in National Women’s Soccer League history
  • Madhvi Chittoor, helped pass legislation to protect people from PFAs
