The sixth honoree we are highlighting for Women’s History Month is Gloria Steinem. Steinem born on March 25, 1934, in Toledo, Ohio, has been a monumental figure in the feminist movement, significantly influencing women's rights from the late 20th century onward. As a co-founder of Ms. Magazine and the Women's Media Center, Steinem's roles as a writer, speaker, and activist have been central to promoting gender equality.
Her upbringing, characterized by her family's constant moving and her mother's health issues, deeply impacted her worldview, driving her commitment to societal change. Despite these early challenges, Steinem's academic achievements at Smith College and transformative experiences in India laid the groundwork for her lifelong activism.
Steinem's journalistic career took off in New York, where she famously exposed the exploitation of women working as Pl***oy Bunnies, highlighting the pervasive sexism in the workplace. This investigation marked the beginning of her efforts to bring gender inequities to the forefront of public consciousness.
In 1971, Steinem played a crucial role in founding the National Women's Political Caucus, focusing on amplifying women's voices in politics and advocating for crucial legislative changes such as the Equal Rights Amendment and reproductive freedoms.
Perhaps her most lasting contribution is the creation of Ms. Magazine in 1972. This pioneering publication provided a feminist lens on culture, politics, and the arts, becoming a vital platform for feminist discourse and advocacy.
Steinem's written work, including titles like "Outrageous Acts and Everyday Rebellions" and "My Life on the Road," merges personal narrative with political analysis, offering profound insights into the feminist movement's challenges and triumphs.
Beyond her literary contributions, Steinem's activism has spanned various fronts, from co-founding the Women's Media Center to ensure women's representation in media, to her involvement with organizations like the Coalition of Labor Union Women and the Ms. Foundation for Women, all aimed at advancing women's rights and social justice.
Her extensive work and leadership in the feminist movement have earned Steinem numerous accolades, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2013, underscoring her significant impact on society and the enduring global fight for gender equality.
Gloria Steinem's legacy is characterized by her resilience, intellect, and unwavering dedication to justice. As a vanguard of the feminist movement, she has not only left a mark through her writings and initiatives but also as an inspiring force for change, encouraging future generations to persist in the quest for equality and human rights.

The fifth honoree we are highlighting for Women's History Month is Maya Angelou. Angelou born Marguerite Annie Johnson on April 4, 1928, in St. Louis, Missouri, transcended a childhood marred by adversity to become an iconic figure in literature and civil rights. Her oeuvre, comprising seven autobiographies, numerous poetry collections, and essays, spans over five decades, illuminating themes of race, identity, and resilience. Angelou's first autobiography, "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings" (1969), detailing her life up to age 17, marked a turning point in autobiographical literature by addressing personal trauma and systemic racism with unflinching honesty.
Angelou's early experiences of trauma and silence—stemming from sexual abuse—shaped her understanding of the power of voice and narrative. Moving with her brother to live with their grandmother in Stamps, Arkansas, she encountered the harsh realities of racial segregation but also the strength of community and self-worth. Angelou's near five-year silence after her assault fostered an intimate relationship with literature, laying the foundation for her literary voice.
Her diverse career trajectory—from the first Black female streetcar conductor in San Francisco to roles in the entertainment industry and activism—illustrates a life of resilience. Angelou's involvement in the Civil Rights Movement, working with Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr., and her advocacy through her writing and public speaking, positioned her as a seminal figure in the fight for equality.
Angelou's literary impact is profound, with "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings" bringing her international acclaim. This work and her subsequent autobiographies blend narrative and activism, challenging the boundaries of the genre and offering a vivid portrayal of the Black American experience. Her poem "On the Pulse of Morning," recited at Bill Clinton's 1993 inauguration, exemplified her ability to capture the collective hope and challenges of the nation.
Throughout her life, Angelou received numerous awards and more than fifty honorary degrees, a testament to her influence in American culture and literature. Her appointment as the Reynolds Professor of American Studies at Wake Forest University further highlights her academic contributions.
Angelou's enduring legacy is her ability to articulate the complexities of identity and resilience through her narrative art. Her work remains a cornerstone of American literature, fostering dialogue on race, gender, and human rights. Despite controversies and challenges to her work, Angelou's voice continues to inspire courage and introspection, making her an enduring symbol of strength and eloquence in the face of adversity. Maya Angelou passed away on May 28, 2014, but her legacy as a writer, activist, and champion for justice continues to resonate worldwide.

The fourth woman we are highlighting for Women's History Month is Joan Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Ginsburg, born on March 15, 1933, and passing away on September 18, 2020, was a pivotal figure in American legal history. As an associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court from 1993 until her death, Ginsburg marked her tenure with a blend of intellect, tenacity, and a commitment to justice. Nominated by President Bill Clinton, she replaced Byron White, emerging as a moderate figure who could build consensus. Ginsburg broke barriers as the first Jewish woman and the second female justice on the Court, following Sandra Day O'Connor.
Ginsburg's journey began in Brooklyn, New York, where she faced early personal tragedies with the death of her older sister, Marilyn, and later her mother just before high school graduation. She attended Cornell University, where she met her husband, Martin D. Ginsburg. Their partnership was a cornerstone of her life, providing stability as she embarked on her legal education at Harvard Law School, eventually transferring to and excelling at Columbia Law School.
Her early career was marked by a dedication to gender equality and civil rights. Ginsburg's work in Sweden, where she co-authored a book on international procedure, deeply influenced her perspective on gender equality. She brought this insight to her roles as a law professor at Rutgers and Columbia, and as a volunteer attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), where she argued several landmark cases before the Supreme Court.
Appointed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit by President Jimmy Carter in 1980, Ginsburg served with distinction until her Supreme Court nomination in 1993. Her Supreme Court tenure was noted for her authored majority opinions in landmark cases, such as United States v. Virginia and City of Sherrill v. Oneida Indian Nation of New York. Ginsburg's later years on the Court were characterized by her increasingly vocal and passionate dissents on issues of gender equality and civil rights, earning her the affectionate moniker "the Notorious R.B.G."
Despite battling cancer and calls for her retirement during a period when her successor could have been appointed by a Democratic president, Ginsburg remained on the Court, demonstrating her resilience and dedication to her role. Her death in 2020, from complications of metastatic pancreatic cancer, marked the end of an era. Her passing not only left a vacancy on the Court filled by Amy Coney Barrett but also underscored a significant ideological shift within the institution.
Ginsburg's legacy is vast, encompassing her legal victories for gender equality, her scholarly contributions, and her enduring influence as a symbol of resilience and justice. Her life's work remains a beacon for advocates of gender equality and civil rights, reflecting her belief in the power of law as a force for positive change.

The third honoree we are highlighting for Women's History Month is Malala Yousafzai. Malala Yousafzai, born July 12, 1997, is a Pakistani female education activist and the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize laureate at the age of 17. She is the world's youngest Nobel Prize laureate, the second Pakistani and the first Pashtun to receive a Nobel Prize. Yousafzai is a human rights advocate for the education of women and children in her native homeland, Swat, where the Pakistani Taliban had at times banned girls from attending school. Her advocacy has grown into an international movement.
The daughter of education activist Ziauddin Yousafzai, she was born to a Yusufzai Pashtun family in Swat and was named after the Afghan folk heroine Malalai of Maiwand. Considering Abdul Ghaffar Khan, Barack Obama, and Benazir Bhutto as her role models, she was also inspired by her father's thoughts and humanitarian work. In early 2009, when she was 11, she wrote a blog under her pseudonym Gul Makai for the BBC Urdu to detail her life during the Taliban's occupation of Swat. The following summer, journalist Adam B. Ellick made a New York Times documentary about her life as the Pakistan Armed Forces launched Operation Rah-e-Rast against the militants in Swat. In 2011, she received Pakistan's first National Youth Peace Prize. She rose in prominence, giving interviews in print and on television, and was nominated for the International Children's Peace Prize.
On October 9, 2012, while on a bus in Swat District after taking an exam, Yousafzai and two other girls were shot by a Taliban gunman in an assassination attempt targeting her for her activism; the gunman fled the scene. She was struck in the head by a bullet and remained unconscious and in critical condition at the Rawalpindi Institute of Cardiology, but her condition later improved enough for her to be transferred to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, UK. The attempt on her life sparked an international outpouring of support.
After her recovery, Yousafzai became a more prominent activist for the right to education. She co-founded the Malala Fund, a non-profit organization. In 2013, she co-authored I Am Malala, an international best seller. In 2013, she received the Sakharov Prize, and in 2014, she was the co-recipient of the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize with Kailash Satyarthi of India. In 2015, she was the subject of the Oscar-shortlisted documentary He Named Me Malala. The 2013, 2014 and 2015 issues of Time magazine featured her as one of the most influential people globally. In 2017 she was awarded honorary Canadian citizenship and became the youngest person to address the House of Commons of Canada.

The second honoree we are highlighting this Women's History Month is Maxine Waters - Miss "Reclaiming my time" herself! Maxine Moore Waters, born August 15, 1938, is an American politician serving as the U.S. representative for California's 43rd congressional district since 1991. The district includes much of southern Los Angeles, as well as portions of Gardena, Inglewood and Torrance.
A member of the Democratic Party, Waters is in her 17th House term. She is the most senior of the 13 black women serving in Congress, and chaired the Congressional Black Caucus from 1997 to 1999. She is the second-most senior member of the California congressional delegation, after Nancy Pelosi. She chaired the House Financial Services Committee from 2019 to 2023 and has been the ranking member since 2023.
As an assembly woman, she advocated divestment from South Africa's apartheid regime. In Congress, she was an outspoken opponent of the Iraq War and has sharply criticized Presidents George H. W. Bush, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump.
In 1990, Waters was elected to the US House of Representatives for California's 29th congressional district with over 79% of the vote. She has been reelected consistently from this district with at least 70% of the vote.
When south-central Los Angeles erupted in riots – in which 63 were killed – after the Rodney King verdict in 1992, Waters gained national attention when she led a chant of "No justice, no peace" at a rally amidst the riot. She also "helped deliver relief supplies in Watts and demanded the resumption of vital services".
In 2009, Waters co-sponsored a bill calling for reparations for slavery to be paid to black Americans. For her tenure as chair of the House Financial Services Committee in the 116th Congress, Waters earned an "A" grade from the nonpartisan Lugar Center's Congressional Oversight Hearing Index.
In 2017, during a House Financial Services Committee meeting, Waters questioned US Secretary of the Treasury Steven Mnuchin. At several points during the questioning, Waters used the phrase "reclaiming my time" when Mnuchin did not directly address the questions Waters had asked him. The video of the interaction between Waters and Mnuchin became popular on social media, and the phrase became attached to her criticisms of Trump.
Waters was born in 1938 in St. Louis, Missouri. The fifth of 13 children, she was raised by her single mother after her father left the family when Maxine was two. She graduated from Vashon High School in St. Louis before moving with her family to Los Angeles in 1961. She worked in a garment factory and as a telephone operator before being hired as an assistant teacher with the Head Start program in Watts in 1966. Waters later enrolled at Los Angeles State College, where she received a bachelor's degree in sociology in 1971.
Waters was included in Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People of 2018.

Our first honoree we are highlighting for Women's History Month is Sonia Maria Sotomayor. Justice Sotomayor is an American lawyer and jurist who serves as an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. She was nominated by President Barack Obama and has served since 2009. She is the third woman, first woman of color, the first Hispanic, and first Latina to serve on the Supreme Court.

Sotomayor, born June 25th, 1957, in the Bronx, New York, to Puerto Rican-born parents. Her father died when she was nine, and was subsequently raised by her mother. Sotomayor graduated summa cm laude from Princeton University in 1976 and received her Juris Doctor from Yale Law School in 1979, where she was an editor at the Yale Law Journal. Sotomayor worked as an assistant district attorney in New York for four and a half years before entering private practice in 1984. She played an active role on the boards of directors for the Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund, the State of New York Mortgage Agency, and the New York City Campaign Finance Board.

Sotomayor was raised a Catholic and grew up in Puerto Rican communities in the South Bronx and East Bronx; she self-identifies as a "Nuyorican". The family lived in a South Bronx tenement before moving in to the well-maintained, racially and ethnically mixed, working-class Bronxdale Houses housing project in Soundview. In 2010, the Bronxdale Houses were renamed in her honor. Her relative proximity to Yankee Stadium led to her becoming a lifelong fan of the New York Yankees. The extended family got together frequently and regularly visited Puerto Rico during summers.

Sonia grew up with an alcoholic father and a mother who was emotionally distant; she felt closest to her grandmother, who she later said gave her a source of "protection and purpose". Sonia was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age seven, and began taking daily insulin injections. Her father died of heart problems at age 42, when she was nine years old. After this, she became fluent in English.

During her Supreme Court tenure, Sotomayor has been identified with concern for the rights of defendants and criminal justice reform, and is known for her impassioned dissents on issues of race, ethnic, and gender identity, including in Schuette v. BAMN, Utah v. Strieff, and Trump v. Hawaii.
