When Jeannette Rankin, a Republican from Montana, who served on aircraft carriers and those who studied astrophysics. arrived in Washington in 1917, it was still a radical idea. There are those who owned farms, started businesses and worked as teachers. Some came to Washington with advanced degrees. The 19th amendment to the Constitution, which guaranteed women Others came with leadership experience at companies like General the right to vote, was still two years from passage and three years Motors and Microsoft. from ratification. Rankin became known as the “lady of the House” and served only a single term. Yet her election created a pathway. Collectively, women make up 27 percent of the 117th Congress. Yet When Rankin returned decades later to win a House seat in 1940, the truth is that women represent 51 percent of the U.S. population. she was one of nine women serving in the chamber. And so, as we celebrate Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day, we recognize that there is work ahead.

Across the political spectrum, women continue to break new ground in almost every election cycle. Kamala Harris is the first female vice president. Nancy Pelosi is the first female Speaker of the House. Janet Yellin is America’s first female Treasury Secretary—after serving as the first woman to chair the Federal Reserve.

CICCARELLI “Find a need and fill it” Significantly CSG Ruth Stafford Peale’s simple yet profound directive has been embraced by generations of CSG students. When perusing Meditations of the Heart, which outlines All School programs dating back to 1908, one finds interfaith The PYC Treehouse Dedication services dedicated to serving others. Although the notion of service has changed over time, it could not be more important than it is today. As Gregory Smith and David Sobel explain in the Spring 2013 issue of Independent School magazine, making connections between that which occurs in classrooms and the lives students lead in their communities is crucial not only to the lives of our students, but also to the world in which we live. Acknowledging that US citizens have become more isolated from one another over the past several decades, Smith and Sobel suggest that “…community-based learning can serve as one antidote to this isolation by taking young people into neighborhoods, workplaces, agencies, and city council meetings where they can interact with adults and see themselves as fellow citizens with shared responsibilities…” For this reason and others, Columbus School for Girls provides many opportunities for students to work in the Columbus community and beyond, where they identify and seek to solve problems.
