## Insights from Our Residents

Women’s History Month serves as a time to not only contemplate past achievements but also appreciate the advancements made and the hurdles that remain. Our residents shared their perspectives on the importance of this month:

> “I think women today have more opportunities than we did before, particularly in the workforce. I’m so proud of my daughter—she’s the CEO of a major company.” – **Bettie B.**

> “When I was employed, the demands for sick leave, vacations, and family time were far more challenging. If you were a working woman, they generally preferred you not to have a family. I’m thrilled that this has changed now.” – **Barbara H.**

> “Reflecting on history, I can recognize all the amazing women we look up to for their contributions, from Amelia Earhart to Ruth Bader Ginsburg.” – **Carol X.**
