women's day

It was International Women's Day yesterday. 

I'm grateful that our daughters ask why we even have a "Women's Day." I'm grateful that to them, it doesn't feel that necessary. I'm grateful to the generations that have worked and sacrificed to create the society we enjoy today. 

And yet

This week in our homeschooling, we happened to memorize the order of the U.S. Presidents. I'm so proud of how our 9-year old can already sing the names of 47 presidents in perfect order. She is brilliant. 

And yet

I dream of a future International Women's Day where we start our morning naming the Presidents, and where our daughters get to name even just one woman in the list. 

We have come so far. So, so far. We're almost there.
