Guest Diary• BY:

March is Women’s History Month — hence a portfolio of portraits culled from my archives. 

These women, portrayed alphabetically (hailing from all over the world) have garnered five Nobel Laureates, countless Pulitzers and honors galore. It goes without saying that there are many others who might have been included.

In the event that you aren’t familiar with everyone who IS here, I hope you will take the time to become familiar with her work.

Happy March!
