Last month was National Women’s History Month, but did you know how it all started?

Years before there was a full month, there was Women’s History Week, which was proclaimed by President Jimmy Carter in 1980. In his proclamation, Carter noted that men and women have worked together to help build the United States since the country's founding.

"Too often, the women were unsung and sometimes their contributions went unnoticed," he wrote. "But the achievements, leadership, courage, strength, and love of the women who built America was as vital as that of the men whose names we know so well."

Our cover models this month feature an incredible veterinary team from Alaska's Tier 1 Veterinary Medical Center. When I say that everyone has a great story to tell, that is never truer than this issue.

We encourage you to celebrate women's achievement every month, not just in March. Raise awareness about discrimination and take action to drive gender parity all year long!
