Every year, as March kicks off Women’s History Month, we center the conversation on women.

 

I don’t need to rattle off a bunch of statistics to prove women’s value and impact. We know them. In fact, this is a topic my colleagues at Business Insider cover extensively all year long.

 

We highlight the difference women are making in the workforce. They’re CEOs, elevating their industries, and even those just entering the workforce are changing corporate culture. But we know there’s more work to be done and ceilings to break.

 

As ambitious as women are at the office, they overachieve at home, too. They still do the majority of household labor. They’re often the default caregivers, best friends, PTA leaders, book club organizers, and head chefs at family gatherings — to name a few.

 

And as much as we don’t need a month to remind us of all the ways women have shown up in our lives, it’s important to take time to remind women their contributions can’t — and won’t — be ignored.
