Women’s History month commemorates the achievements of remarkable women who have made a difference in American history. Most of us may be familiar with such notables as Harriet Tubman, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, or Clara Barton. But, if they were here today, they may have nominated one of their contemporaries, Mary Baker Eddy, for recognition as well. Eddy is a fellow inductee of the National Women’s Hall of Fame. A household name during their time, one of the leading newspapers described Eddy as “the most famous, interesting and powerful woman in America, if not the world, today.”

• become a well-respected author
• found a church that would spread across the globe during her lifetime
• found her own college and teach 1000’s of students
• publish and edit her own weekly and monthly magazines
• at 87 years old found the international newspaper, The Christian Science Monitor, which has since won 7 Pulitzer prizes.
• She did all this during a time when women had little formal educational or employment opportunities; had no right to vote; rarely spoke in public; and were not received as credible religious leaders.
