Recognizing Women Featured in HERstory Volume III
Yesterday, I had the pleasure of participating in an incredibly moving ceremony honoring the remarkable achievements of more than 90 women featured in HERstory Volume III, who have made a lasting impact on our Commonwealth.
This volume celebrates trailblazers across diverse fields—from astronauts and athletes to suffragists and literary icons—each demonstrating the resilience, courage, and determination it takes to break barriers and lead the way.
Thank you to Senate President Karen E. Spilka hosting this important event and for her continued commitment to uplifting the voices and stories of extraordinary women.
It was an honor to celebrate alongside so many, including two of the inspiring women featured: Suzanne Lee and Bobbi Gibb.
Bobbi Gibb, who grew up in Rockport, made history in 1966 as the first woman to run the Boston Marathon, defying expectations and paving the way for generations of female athletes.
Thank you to everyone who joined us to recognize these incredible women and their contributions to Massachusetts and beyond. It was a fitting tribute to honor the legacy of each one of their stories as Women’s History Month comes to a close
