Happy Women’s History Month! We used to get only a week, but in 1987 after being petitioned by the National Women’s History Project we were granted a month.

I grew up during the women’s movement of the 1960s and ’70s. Out of the social upheaval of the 1960s, i.e., the Civil Rights movement, the Vietnam War protests and the sexual revolution, evolved the women’s liberation movement, also known as the second wave of feminism. Not only did I grow up during this pivotal era, I grew up in the thick of it.
