โI think itโs really cool that we have a month that celebrates women. Women are historically oppressed and itโs a step in the right direction having a month like this. Like that new movie that just came out about the ladies that worked for the space program, so many were hidden under the achievements of men. Itโs crazy to think we might have overlooked some genius women in the past.โ

โI know it celebrates the history that women have influenced, like in computer science. Women are the ones that actually inspired the science behind computer science.โ

โCreo que es un mes en donde apreciamos a la mujer y nos damos nuestro lugar, bien merecido, porque no muchos aprecian a veces todo lo que hacemos, o muchas veces como una mamรก que trabaja, y mรกs aparte limpia y cuida y todo eso, muchas veces no lo valoramos. O, por ejemplo, hoy estaba viendo en mi clase de sociologรญa que muchas veces que aunque ahorita haya โequidad,โ realmente no. Y muchas veces, como mujer, tenemos cierto lugar y ciertos lugares que no nos dan. โฆ Si yo quiero ser enfermera, OK si estรก bien. Pero, si un chavo quiere ser enfermero de que le dan una posiciรณn mรกs alta, y pues entonces sigue habiendo un poco de discriminaciรณn por decirlo asรญ y entonces me encanta que este mes sea dedicado a la mujer y que se pueda ยกGirl Power!โ

โI believe it is a very important new field in the history overall, in general, because now that, you know, women are composing more than 50 percent of the labor force, itโs important to have them make their mark in history and be recognized for it, of course, without falling into the stereotype of โfeminazisโ or things like that. I mean, if we are going to devote a piece of history to women, I believe we have to make the best out of it, not the wrong things.โ
