Dear Friends,
King County is proud to celebrate National
Women's History Month. This year's theme, "Women Inspiring
Hope and Possibility," celebrates the hope and sense of possibility
that comes to our lives from the inspirational work of women. Hope
comes in many forms from laws challenged and changed, new medical
research, stories of compassion and courage, and watching women
stand tall against great odds. The eight 2005 Honorees
(external link) represent this vision
of hope in myriad ways.
I encourage all King County
residents to participate in ceremonies and events
to commemorate and honor women for their countless
contributions to our community and nation and to
learn more about the significant role women have
had in the creation of our history.
Throughout King County's
history, women have played a prominent role in
building our community. But that history is not
always told, and the names are too often
forgotten.
I encourage you to explore
our Women's History web site and learn more
about the women whose lives helped shape the people
and place we are today.
