‘Women’s history is women’s right’
A tribute to overlooked innovators, good troublemakers, and remarkable women of the past, present, and future
“Women’s history is women’s right,” wrote Gerda Lerner, who organized the first Women’s History Day in the U.S., the precursor to Women’s History Month. “It is an essential, indispensable heritage from which we can draw pride, comfort, courage, and long range vision.”

A day before , we'd like to offer another path to get to .

And when we say equality, we mean , regardless of where they see themselves on the gender spectrum.

Getting to equal at home, in terms of chores, parental responsibility with the kids' schedule, shopping, cooking, garden, etc., and an equal and paid parental leave for both parents, would speed up societal awareness, and societal support, leading to a gradual mind-shift.

During , the world tends to celebrate . And this month we plan to do it with even more dedication than we usually do.

So let's start the month on the right foot, with the movie Fair Play, which is focused on recognizing/acknowledging the un-valued or undervalued and most of the time "un-seened", or expected contributions of professional women in the household, and the impact of this undervaluation which, starting at the home level, it leaves deep marks across how women's contributions are perceived in the business world, and how it all reverberates into our common global consciousness.

Let us start asking ourselves how we could make equality a thing for everyone, regardless of where they place themselves on the gender spectrum.

Balancing the will take a lot more work, and not just from the women's side.

For our and in the and series, please meet Margaret Hamilton, one of the early , writing code by hand, some 50 years ago. In an industry dominated by men, in a time when women were not encouraged to go into STEM, in a time that cracking into the male-dominated NASA, she persevered. And because of her relentlessness, because of her not giving up on her own dreams, because of her passion for her work, she persevered, and NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration was rewarded with what was needed to take its Apollo missions to the Moon.

If we are to look up to others for inspiration and motivation to staying our course, to pursuing a career in an industry that our current society and culture and biases tell us that we, whoever "we" are, don't belong, I encourage you to look to Margaret Hamilton.

From Wikipedia:
Margaret Heafield Hamilton is an American computer scientist, systems engineer, and business owner. She was director of the Software Engineering Division of the MIT Instrumentation Laboratory, which developed on-board flight software for NASA's Apollo program.

Role models and representation matter. It is easier to see yourself in a role if you see someone like yourself doing that job, running that company, e.g., writing code for NASA when women were not encouraged, allowed, or even accepted into science programs at most universities, scientific discussion circles, and even less, into the scientific, data-driven, male-dominated engineering organizations.

Inspiring women, inspire.
One of the many reasons we all need role-models is just this, seeing someone do what you previously thought as impossible, it can only give you wings of hope, motivation to at least try, and a model to guide your next steps on.
Keep going. Keep up. Never give up on yourself and in what drives you.

It speaks of a great shift in politics... and it speaks louder than anything else that's been said before.

Vice President Kamala Harris and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi sat behind Biden during his joint address to Congress last year, but that speech was not an official State of the Union address.
