“31 Days of Notable Women” my special blog is coming for Women’s History Month!

Every March I post one blog per day on notable women and their amazing accomplishments. Come join me to learn about women in science, women inventors, politicians and poets, freedom fighters and artists.

Many of these women have been buried in history, their stories ignored or never told…..meet amazing people whose voices have been silenced, but who are finally being given the credit they deserve!

Looking for modern day women inventors….

As many of you may know, during Women’s History month in March I blog every day about amazing but unheralded women who are inventors, artists, writers, political leaders, scientists, pilots, world leaders, doctors, astronomers and authors. These are women who have made history but not gotten the acclaim they deserve. I call the blog “31 Days of Notable Women”.

Here’s your chance to be glorified! If you are (or know of) a woman whose time has come, please email me at rosefirewalker@aol.com so I can give you the attention you so justly deserve. I’ll need time to research and write your short bio, so let’s get the ball rolling.

Looking forward to getting to know some of you amazing women,
Diane Tegarden
