In Elizabeth Blackwell’s day, defying her gender role wasn’t the popular choice. But she did it anyway. That is always the most important part of stories like these. She knew what she was up against. She knew it wouldn’t be easy. But she pursued medical school anyway, despite being separated and excluded by peers and professors alike. And her perseverance paid off. She became the first woman to receive a medical degree in America, she focused on areas of care that male doctors had historically neglected, and she took back control by opening her own practice specifically for underprivileged women. What an inspiration and blueprint on perseverance.

Computer pioneer Margaret Hamilton led the team that created the onboard flight software for the Apollo missions, including Apollo 11. The computer system was the most sophisticated of its time. “She symbolizes that generation of unsung women who helped send humankind into space,” said President Barack Obama in 2016 when he awarded Hamilton the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the United States’ highest civilian award. Margaret, a trailblazer in a male-dominated field, shared, “When I first came to Apollo, there were no other women writing software. Then within a couple of years there would be a few – and I did have some working for me – but not many. There were always many more men.” She persevered and leaves us with this advice: “Don’t let fear get in the way and don’t be afraid to say “I don’t know” or “I don’t understand” – no question is a dumb question. And don’t always listen to the so-called experts!” 👏

Patty Ornelas surfs with grace in traditional Mexican garments—part of a project from artists Chi and Anna-Marie Janssen. The pair’s work is constantly inspired by women and their relationship with mother nature. They remind us all of the strength, beauty, and fierceness of women. “The muses are a FORCE in the water, gems of the sea, excelling beyond gender limitations and capabilities with grace and passion.” 👏 Goosebumps!
