WPLN Founder and President Larissa Martinez on the celebration of Women’s History Month in March:

Happy Women's History Month!

When I wrote to you at this time last year, we had just come off of an historic election season, in which women shattered glass ceilings across the country.

Yet women remain underrepresented in politics and government -- particularly center- and right-leaning women. A 2021 Gallup poll found that 69% of women identified their political ideology as conservative or moderate -- but just one out of every 4 women in Congress leans right.

Fortunately, 2022 is another election year. Women belong at decision-making tables at every level, and this year started off strong, with Virginia electing its first Black woman to hold statewide office and Boston electing a woman to be mayor for the first time. I'm so excited to see what records we break in November!

Lastly, in case you missed it, we've been highlighting famous female firsts on Instagram all month -- be sure to check it out!
