John,

March is Women’s History Month — an opportunity to honor the remarkable women in our country and the work they are doing to further our great nation, shape culture, and change the course of history.

From being pioneers in the struggle for suffrage and fighting economic inequality to breaking glass ceilings across America, women in our country have, and continue to, overcome barriers in order to reach full equality. Today, women from all walks of life and in so many fields — science, technology, education, healthcare, government, and more — enrich our world and better our society. 

Women hold their place in the history books as visionaries and groundbreakers, but also inspire our lives as mothers, daughters, sisters, and friends.

It is my sincere hope that during this Women’s History Month, Americans will continue to reflect and celebrate the contributions women have made to our great society. After all, as we have seen throughout American history: When women succeed, America succeeds.

Thank you,

Congressman Sanford Bishop
