March is Women’s History Month
March is the official month to celebrate the accomplishments of women throughout history. Below are some of the lesser-known names from the history books and how their achievements ultimately changed lives for the better.
- Barbara Bodichon (1827–1891): She authored a groundbreaking pamphlet on the legal status of women, sparking the campaign that eventually allowed married women to own and control their own property.
Claudette Colvin (b. 1939): At age 15, she refused to give up her bus seat in Montgomery, Alabama, nine months before Rosa Parks. She later became a key plaintiff in the court case that ended bus segregation in the city.- Hedy Lamarr (1914–2000): Beyond her Hollywood fame, she was an ingenious inventor who developed technology that became the foundation for modern wireless communication (such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth).
- Henrietta Lacks (1920–1951): Her cancer cells, taken without consent, became the “HeLa” cell line—an immortal line essential to medical breakthroughs like the polio vaccine and cancer research.
- Susan La Flesche Picotte (1865–1915): In 1889, she became the first Native American woman to earn a medical degree in the United States.
It’s also National Nutrition Month
National Nutrition Month is a campaign focusing on overall health, which is a balance of diet, exercise, rest, and hereditary traits. While heredity is a forgone conclusion, the other three can be controlled.
Nutrition is one of the biggest factors in a person’s health. Food choices can significantly increase or decrease risk factors for disease and injury. A flood 
of diet programs out there aim to improve health and keep consumers slim. However, most studies agree that including fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean meats, and proteins comprise a healthy diet.
