Whereas, During Women's History Month, we celebrate the courage,
and resolve of women who have strengthened our democracy; and
Whereas, America has been transformed by strong women whose contributions
shaped the history of our country. Amelia Earhart became the first woman to fly
solo across the Atlantic, and she inspired generations of women to follow their
dreams. Physicist Chien - Shiung Wu helped advance our knowledge and
understanding of the world through her achievements in atomic research and
Harriet Tubman fought racial injustice and opened doors for more Americans to
participate fully in our society; and
Whereas, Today, women are continuing this legacy of leadership as
entrepreneurs, doctors, teachers, scientists, lawyers, artists, and public officials.
They are also providing guidance and care to their loved ones and strengthening
America's families and communities. We also remember the women of the United
States Armed Forces who are serving our country with honor and distinction
across the world; and
Whereas, This month, we honor the extraordinary women of our Nation's past
and recognize the countless women who are demonstrating leadership in every
aspect of American life.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Matthew J. Hayek, Mayor of the City of Iowa City,
do hereby proclaim March 2013 as:
Women's History Month
and call upon the community to observe this month with appropriate programs,
ceremonies, and activities that honor the history, accomplishments, and
contributions of American women.
