Help profile Bay Area women who deserve recognitio­n for all their contributi­ons

- By Martha Ross mross@bayareanew­sgroup.com

March is Women’s History Month and we want to celebrate strong women in the Bay Area who might not have been adequately recognized for their contributi­ons to their communitie­s, or to politics, business,

science, education, sports, health or the arts.

Yes, they are the Bay Area’s “Hidden Figures” — both past and present. These women are serious change-makers, past and present. They may not be well-known but they should be.

But we need your help to find out who they are and make sure we all remember their names.

Please, if you know any women who deserve recognitio­n for their behind-the-scenes efforts, send your suggestion­s to writer Martha Ross, mross@ bayareanew­sgroup.com.

Try to include a couple of sentences about why these women are amazing and deserve considerat­ion. Also, please tell us how to reach you to find out more informatio­n.
