The 2017 theme for National Women’s History Month honors women who have successfully challenged the role of women in both business and the paid labor force.  Women have always worked, but often their work has been undervalued and unpaid.

The 2017 Honorees represent many diverse backgrounds and each made her mark in a different field. Additionally, the Honorees’ work and influence spans three centuries of America’s history.  These women all successfully challenged the social and legal structures that have kept women’s labor underappreciated and underpaid.

Picture : Rosie The Riveter « We Can Do It. » A powerful symbol of American women’s contributions during World War II and of female empowerment. Inspiration for Iconic Rosie the Riveter Image , a young (at 17) factory worker named Geraldine Doyle unwittingly inspired J. Howard Miller’s iconic “We Can Do It!” in 1942.
