As we celebrate Women's History Month this March, it's important to remember the key role women have played in promoting a better understanding and relationships between our country and the rest of the world.

The work of these women doesn't end when they return home from overseas, as one goal of the Peace Corps' mission is to help promote a better understanding of other cultures here in the United States.

At this moment in our nation's history, cross-cultural understanding and global relationships are critical to the world. Now is not the time to discourage or dissuade the world's future decision-makers from studying, teaching or conducting research in the United States.

A better world shall emerge based on faith and understanding.

Our country needs to produce 250,000 net new jobs every month just to keep even with population growth.

Women have a better understanding of social issues, and better representation gives them an opportunity to address these issues.
