March is Women's History Month and eLibrary Minnesota and Ebooks Minnesota have a great collection of biographies, books, and resources on women from all walks of life that have made contributions to American history.
This year we have the first female U.S. Vice President and the first woman coach in Super Bowl history. Women are beginning to get some of the recognition they deserve and that is why celebrating Women's History Month is more important now than ever. By recognizing the contributions of women throughout time, and in the present day, Women's History Month helps to open up that world of possibilities to young girls.
