As we mark Women's History Month, in March, I am grateful to the women who have strengthened our nation to ensure that Americans, of all backgrounds, have every opportunity they deserve.
As civic leaders, professionals, mothers, daughters and wives, women have a great deal of influence in our country.
We must take this opportunity to protect the gains women have made and break down the gender barriers that still exist. As history has shown us: When women succeed, we all succeed.
