March 15, 1999 March is National Women's History Month -- but
does that meant it's just a girl thing? Of course not! The Yak
thinks it's a great time for everyone to salute the achievements
of women. One great woman in history was Elizabeth "Lizzie"
Stanton.Women haven't always had the same rights as men. When
the United States was founded more than 200 years ago, women
couldn't own property. In fact, women were considered the
property of their fathers or husbands. And women couldn't
vote.But in the mid-1800s, a group of women -- including Lizzie
-- decided they wanted to have the same rights as men, including
the right to vote. January 10, 2010 Howard County's Commission
for Women invites students, including public, private or home-
schooled, in grades 6-12 to participate in its essay contest in
honor of Women's History Month. This year's theme is "Writing
Women Back into History." Deadline is Jan. 20. Essays should be
e-mailed to firstname.lastname@example.org or mailed to the
Commission for Women Student Es
