February went out like a breeze and not even a leap day could slow it down. March is finally here in 2020 and it also happens to be an important month for many of us. March is known as Women’s History month where we honor the many women that made an impact on our lives. Also March 8th is International Women’s Day, an event that the whole world celebrates. During this month we celebrate the lives and stories of many women that transformed our society. These women empowered people around them and fought for what they believed in. Their stories have inspired many future trailblazers along with teaching them important lessons. What’s a better way to feel empowered and get some inspiration than listening to some really cool feminist podcasts?
