This Women's History Month, we're celebrating all of the women who have changed the world, either on a global scale or on a personal one. 

Check out the women who have inspired our members below. Then tell us what women have inspired you. You could win a $75 gift card to your favorite woman-owned business!

Women Making Their Mark

"Ruth Bader Ginsburg was inspirational to me in so many ways. My Dad was an attorney, so I was always aware of law and the judicial system, generally. Obviously she helped women in multiple ways and I think that her death this past year brought her again to the news and highlighted just how important and influential she has been to women's rights". - kpayne1027  

"There are so many but the first one that comes to mind is Michelle Obama. She just seemed to take the whole First Lady thing in stride. She was always so poised and just always made me proud to be an American every time I heard her speak.  Such a wonderful role model." - wendy106

"Barbara Jordan was always an inspiration to me, working on the committee that investigated Richard Nixon. She was so impressive." - SueG907  

"Alice Wong is an incredible disability rights advocate who founded the Disibility Visabilty Project, which is dedicated to sharing the stories of people with disabilities. She also fights to see more people with disabilities in leadership positions and politics. The work she does is so incredible and the more I read her work, the more I am impressed. Though her name isn't so well known, it should be." - jerseygirl1

Women the World Should Know

"My mother passed away in the fall of 2009. She inspires me daily... She wanted to go to college in the late 50s to become a doctor. In those days, you couldn’t. The choice was to become a Nurse or get married. She married my father, and became a nurse.  She was a Nurse for over 10 years until the doctor retired. She raised four children and also my sister's kid when my sister got sick.  When my nephew got Leukemia at 2 years old, he went to Sloan Kettering in 1983. My mother, Margaret Joan Outeiral, created the first Parents Room there in 1983…" - Kissmekatedelta88  

"My grandmother inspired me. She did what she could in the face of adversity. She forged her own path and showed my cousins she could do things they never thought she could." - klassic  

"The person I choose is my best friend Debbie. … Debbie does and has helped so many strangers with so many things, buying groceries, or a quick meal, a kind word or advice on where to go for any needed help…. This woman never stops, her energy and will and desire to help and impact this world to make it a better place is amazing. Debbie is my choice for someone who has inspired me and I'm sure many others. She may not be history now, however, I believe one day many will remember her for all she did to help. She will not make national news, but in her community she will." - allene7

Harriet Tubman has inspired me.
.  She represents a woman who is not afraid to stand for women's freedom. (Even though she freed men too).

 Cassie Edward's is an inspiring novelist. She writes romance and those books helped me believe in love.

Taraji P. Henson is my roll modell. She strives to be her best self in everything she does and even though people think shes just an actress, she's a WOMAN who grows herslef everyday through her family, her career, her hobbies and everything else that she does! this woman is someone who anybody can look up to! Just look at all the roles that she has played as a woman being suppressed, and then she goes to show us that anybody can be who they want to be and what they want to be!

ROSA PARKS

After refusing to give up her bus seat to a white person in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks' courageous act in 1955 sparked a turning point in the civil rights movement

Michelle Obama, she helps others, is a great leader and a community activist and social rights advocate. She encourages people around the world to become leaders too, and respects others. She's someone I would tell my daughters to look up to!

My grandmother has lived an amazing life many would not believe if they didn't see or experience alongside her.  With nearly 9 decades full of life experiences both good and bad, she has knowledge most people only imagine. She is a walking library of facts learned and lived and witnessed more worldly change all in one lifetime than most will ever see or know of.  She is my inspiration to live my life to its fullest, find passion in everything I do, make time because we are not always given more opportunity to seize moments, and never settle for anything that doesn't make me happy; life is too short to accept anything less.

I would have to say Michelle Obama. She is such an influential woman to other women and girls everywhere. She stands up for what she believes in no matter what. And to be a woman of color she takes that in stride and it doesn't stop her from doing anything for other women.
