Women's dinner

On Thursday March 8th I attended a dinner to celebrate International Women's day. It was an amazing experience! 2 of the women that attended were former Montana state senators, and many others held prominent positions in the Bozeman society. Not being from here, it was really interesting and exciting to meet all of these powerful women. One of them, a former teacher at Bozeman High School gave a speech about women throughout the past that had done amazing things to help us be where we are today. She talked about Lysistrata, who stood up for what she believed in and led others to help stop a war. Then she talked about the women that died in the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire, which was a huge fire that killed 146 women working in the building, which led the fire departments to develop the regulations and codes that we have today. Her speech was amazing, showing all of the hardships and trials that women had to go through for us to be where we are today. It was an amazing event that I thought I would share. And it really changed my views on Lysistrata and every thing else that we have read in this class too.
