March is Women’s History Month, a special celebration honoring women’s achievements and contributions to society.
While we’ve come a long way since women gained the right to vote, study, and work, there is still much to be done to achieve de facto gender parity and women’s equal representation. The world continues to be viewed predominantly through a male lens, where women are kept from reaching their full potential.
“Representation of the world, like the world itself, is the work of men; they describe it from their own point of view, which they confuse with absolute truth.” ― Simone de Beauvoir, The Second Sex
Let us celebrate and support women's successes every day!

“I’m guided by what I’m really outraged about and what I think I can actually try to influence. And it may be that I can only influence things one case at a time, but ultimately, the plan is always to try and improve the system.”
“For many people, playing video games is what first inspired them to learn how to code. But if most games appeal more to boys, what can be done to get more girls to play games and code?”
“Our family wants to help a new generation of female and minority entrepreneurs build great companies. We hope to play a growing role in leveling the startup playing field over time.” - Dixie and Charli D’Amelio in a joint statement
“There is plenty of capital out there and you should look for value-add capital. Do your research rather than sending your pitch deck to everyone; avoid the spray-and-pray approach.”
“I hope my son will experience this war only from stories – that he will never, never feel what it’s like in real life. I don’t want him to know real war.”
“Gender equity isn’t just about representation. We need to terminate gender bias at its root by fixing our organizations to make them inclusive, flexible, supportive, and equitable to women.”
