March 8th celebrated International Women's Day. This is a day that celebrates and recognizes the achievements made by women across the world as well as helps to bring awareness to the every day unique struggles that women face as well. The first International Women's Day was recognized in 1911 and now the entire month of March serves as Women's History Month. Throughout American history, women have made massive gains to society and their contributions are undoubtedly tremendous. From the life raft to kevlar to everyone's favorite game Monopoly, women have been some of the most creative people in history.
As we honor all of the important contributions by women this month, it is also important to shine awareness on the many risk factors that face women as well. Women seem to be more at risk for heart disease, breast cancer, and stroke. It is important to know your family history and to take care of your health to ensure a healthy future.
