  H.C.R. No. 90
 
 
 
HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
 
         WHEREAS, The celebration of Women's History Month in March
  2013 provides a fitting opportunity to highlight the immeasurable
  contributions of American women; and
         WHEREAS, For more than two centuries, women have played a
  critical role in the progress of our nation, though for too long
  their efforts have been unsung and undervalued; and
         WHEREAS, During the 18th and 19th centuries, women were
  instrumental in transforming our society, despite not having the
  protection of full citizenship and equal rights; in addition to
  creating thousands of soldiers' aid societies and raising more than
  $15 million for the troops during the Civil War, they formed
  benevolent societies to care for widows, children, and the mentally
  ill, endowed universities, and established hundreds of public
  libraries across the country; they endured arrest and harassment
  for demanding their inalienable rights, and they marched for social
  justice for themselves and for others; and
         WHEREAS, Because those determined women raised their
  individual voices into a chorus that would not be silenced, women
  now hold seats on the highest court in our land and serve bravely in
  our military, and they win collegiate basketball championships and
  elections, proving that a woman's place can be in the house and in
  the House of Representatives; and
         WHEREAS, This year's theme, "Women Inspiring Innovation
  through Imagination," highlights the myriad achievements that
  women have made in science, technology, engineering, and math;
  among those honored by the National Women's History Project this
  year are Grace Murray Hopper, one of the world's first computer
  programmers, and Edith Clarke, a graduate of MIT, who became the
  first female professor of electrical engineering in the country
  when she was hired to teach at The University of Texas at Austin in
  1947; and
         WHEREAS, Women of every race, ethnicity, faith, and economic
  background have contributed to the strength of our state and our
  nation, and it is indeed fitting to pay tribute to the pioneering
  women who shaped this nation's history and to those who are carrying
  on their legacy today; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the 83rd Legislature of the State of Texas
  hereby designate March 2013 as Women's History Month and encourage
  all Texans to learn more about the inspiring women who have
  contributed so much to our country and to the Lone Star State.
