As many of you may know, March is Women's History Month , and that means we all get together to celebrate and honor a few of the gals that have made a splash in our history.

Let's start with Helen Keller . She was the first deaf-blind woman to graduate from college, and went on to become an advocate for people with disabilities, as well as a world-famous activist, speaker and author.

Then you've got Elizabeth Blackwell , who in 1821 was turned down by twenty-nine medical schools just because she was a woman. She finally got into Geneva Medical School, where she graduated at the top of her class and became the first licensed female doctor. Props to her!

Last but not least, Charley Parkhurst  drove a stagecoach across the iffiest parts of the West for years and NO ONE knew he was a woman until she died! Talk about a secret identity...

There are many more women being celebrated each year, and this year's theme is "visionary artists" — take a look at honorees!  And if you know of any special gals you want to mention, post and share!

P.S. One more interesting tidbit: Before Hillary Clinton, the first woman to run for President was Victoria Woodhull  back in 1872! How's that for an interesting fact, yeah?
