Herstory

This space salutes Patriots and Pathfinders, the Bold and Unbossed whose contributions transcend the act of casting a ballot. Celebrated and unknown, they are women warriors who have joined the ancestors or are still alive making their mark today. They’ve toiled in the vineyards of “women’s work”– collaborative, intersectional change agents, sewing common threads of heart and valor.

Thank you SiStars! You light our path, giving hope for the ages.
