Real Women Worthy of International Recognition

Since today has been declared “International Women’s Day” we would be negligent to forget the heroines that helped guarantee the freedoms that we hold dear.  Many who would rewrite history, would have us to believe the women during the revolution were oppressed subservient wives of overbearing husbands who dictated policy in the home.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  The founding women of our nation carried themselves with dignity and strength; believing with their hearts and souls…
