MARCH – WOMEN HISTORY MONTH

INFLUENTIAL FEMALE RETIRED BUT NOT FORGOTTEN

March 3 Midnight Pick – Hillary Clinton

A few of my favorite quotes:

“Women are the largest untapped reservoir of talent in the world.” – Hillary Clinton

“I learned some valuable lessons about the legislative process, the importance of bipartisan cooperation and the wisdom of taking small steps to get a big job done.” – Hillary Clinton

“I suppose I could have stayed home and baked cookies and had teas.” Hillary Clinton

“Now, I have always believed that women are not victims; we are agents of change, we are drivers of progress, we are makers of peace – all we need is a fighting chance.” – Hillary Clinton

Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton is an American politician who was the First Lady of the United States from 1993 to 2001 and served as the junior U.S. Senator from New York from 2001 to 2009 and 67th United States Secretary of State from 2009 to 2013. She is the first female first lady to run for the highest office in the land, the President of the United States.

As with other first ladies, she wears the pearl with pride.

I had the opportunity to hear Mrs. Clinton’s daughter, an award-winning author, speak at the annual conference of The American Business Women Association. Chelsea’s life and career are by far Mrs. Clinton’s proudest achievement.

Like Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton raised a daughter who is accomplished in her own rights. Mrs. Clinton has proven to be a loving mother, a powerful senator, a force to be reckoned with Secretary of State, a highly respected lawyer, and a woman more intellectually prepared through education and experience than any other female willing to take on the role of President of the United States.

Get to know Hillary Clinton, the woman, mother, and politician through her penned books. They are enlightening. My grandson purchased her books for me as gifts because he knows that I am a strong supporter of female authors.

Read what others are saying about Secretary Clinton’s accomplishments.

INFLUENTIAL FEMALE MAKES A LASTING MARK ON SOCIETY

March 2 Midnight Pick – Michelle Obama

Some of her most popular quotes:

“I have learned that as long as I hold fast to my beliefs and values, and follow my own moral compass, then the only expectations I need to live up to are my own.” -Michelle Obama

“There are still many causes worth sacrificing for, so much history yet to be made.” -Michelle Obama

“Our greatness has always come from people who expect nothing and take nothing for granted – folks who work hard for what they have, then reach back and help others after them.” – Michelle Obama

Michelle LaVaughn Robinson Obama (born January 17, 1964) is an American lawyer and writer who was First Lady of the United States from 2009 to 2017. She is married to the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama, and is the first African American First Lady.

First Ladies and their pearls – a tradition. Michelle wears her pearls with distinction.

Mrs. Obama advocates healthy living for all children. She is an example of a loving wife, mother, and voice for women. I have no doubt that her two girls will be successful in their chosen career. She is a role model for women throughout the world. Maintaining normalcy and raising two girls in the environment of a political atmosphere has to be difficult for any parent. Kudos to Mrs. Obama for a job well done.

The dogs are so adorable!
