This Year We Need Powerful Women’s Stories More Than Ever
Call for submissions and yes, men’s voices are welcome
It’s 2025 and women still don’t have constitutional equality in America. We still earn eighty cents on the male dollar according to Labor Statistics and the US Census, Roe vs. Wade has fallen, child marriage is still legal.
Nineteen million women in America live in contraceptive deserts, and twenty one states have banned some or all abortion. And of those 21 states, ten make zero exception for rape or incest. The current Administration has rewritten “facts” about rape, 69 million married women may lose the vote this year, and AI has a “woman” problem.
And with all that?
The reason we’re celebrating Women’s History Month this March is because we have the President’s permission to do so.
Not kidding. Wish I was.
Every year the President of The United States signs a document granting permission for March to be designated Women’s History Month again.
It goes back to Carter and the proclamation he signed for the first official Women’s Week in 1980. Which wasn’t about equality, it was an apology for writing women out of history. So he gave us a whole week, imagine that!
