\"2022<\/p>\n

When I look back at my childhood, my mom, first generation Bachelors degree in tow, worked four days a week. And \u2018ran\u2019 the evenings on her own at home while my dad was dairy farming. When she looks back, her mother ran the household and picked up shifts waitressing when the farm wasn\u2019t making ends meet. And before that, working outside the home wasn\u2019t something my great grandmother would have dreamed of.<\/p>\n

It is on the backs of everyday women like my mother, and the likes of Sojourner Truth, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, among others, that I was able to enter the workforce without a single thought of my gender having an impact on my professional life. While at the same time, knowing I had a real choice of whether to be a stay at home mom, full time employee or somewhere in between.<\/p>\n

Not every woman experiences this liberation in the same way I do. And, it is more than just being able to work as a mom that has changed. From voting rights and Title IX to equal pay, women\u2019s rights have come a very long way. AND \u2013 still have a long way to go.<\/p>\n

So, in honor of Women\u2019s History Month, we\u2019d like to elevate the voices<\/a> of some of our favorite B2B marketers \u2014 who also happen to be women \u2014 along with a few others outside of marketing. These 10+ women are inspirations to men and women alike.<\/p>\n
