Women’s History Month serves as a reminder of the remarkable journey women have undertaken to secure their place in history. Yet, even as we celebrate the strides made, it’s crucial to recognize that true progress hinges on providing women with the tools and opportunities they need to exceed. At the Women’s Foundation of Florida, we have seen the positive impact women bring to our state when we support women and encourage them to elevate their leadership and pursue careers in public service.

Just four years ago we celebrated the 100th anniversary of women being granted the right to vote in America. In only 104 years, women have elevated their role in politics to make up almost 33% of state legislatures in 2023. While this is the highest percentage in our nation’s history, women make up over 50% of the United States population. Therefore, there remains a gender disparity in political representation and more needs to be done to ensure women are fairly represented in the legislative process.
