Hi John,

It’s hard to believe, but we’re nearing the final week of Women’s History Month. Every year during the month of March, we hold a special space in our work to honor and celebrate women — their leadership, their voices, and their stories. 

We are inspired by the women leaders around the country, from the representative we elected to the volunteer who registered us to vote, who have proven time and again the strength and power of advocacy and activism. Our movement would be nowhere without the mobilization efforts of women and girls throughout history, especially when it comes to making their voices heard at the polls.

The United State of Women and When We All Vote are celebrating Women’s History Month by collaborating on this special edition of ‘The Feminist To-Do List.’ Together, we're reminding women that their voices matter, and we’re working to ensure every eligible voter casts their ballot in each and every election. Remember — there are no off years in our democracy.

Keep reading to find ways to get involved and a roundup of some of our favorite news stories from the week!

"They talk about a woman's sphere as though it had a limit," she wrote. "There's not a place in earth or heaven, there's not a task to mankind given, there's not a blessing or a woe, there’s not a whispered yes or no, there's not a life, or death or birth, that has a feather’s weight of worth without a woman in it."
