A simple look! That’s all it would take for my mother, aunts or sisters to correct me in a heartbeat. No words… just a deadly stare right into my mischievous mind that destroys every devilish scheme.

Women throughout history have been the concrete moral fiber in every human’s life. The smartest man on earth could not even prepare a discussion about his achievements without including a woman.

The influence of women in a man’s life is more powerful than any invention in the world. With the Texas State Board of Education wanting to change history text books and NewSouth Publishing removing the “n” word from Huckleberry Finn, this should have our minds wondering when educators will start discussing the impact of the Women’s Suffrage.

Now is the time to blend the achievements of women in to history text books and speak out about “feminism” in public and not whisper in corners anymore. Will such defamatory words such as “hoe”, “b*%!”, or any other negative name dominate news conferences with panels of educators discussing the psychological damage that such words can cause?

 Society seems to be afraid to have a celebrative day for Jeannette Rankin, Susan B. Anthony, or Ella Baker. We have government holidays to celebrate many men but none that celebrate women who’ve help change our society for the better.

Now is the time we all give “the look” to those who have silenced the voices and achievements of women. Now is the time to take a stand. Now is the time… not only during this month but every month of every year untill the achievements of the voiceless has been given a voice. Take a look. Take a stand. Let her voice be heard.
