Unsung Heroines of Massachusetts

Did you know that each year, the state of Massachusetts seeks nominations for women residents, from each town, to be named an unsung heroine? I didn't either until today.

I happened across something online and did some digging. The MCSW, Massachusetts Commission of the Status of Women, was created in 1998. The goal of the groups seems to be advancing women of all backgrounds to promote rights and opportunities.

This is very interesting to me; I have never even heard of this organization before. Have you? If you would like to see who was named the unsung heroines of 2007, click here.

Personally, I think this is a nice way of recognizing the women in our community who go way above and beyond. I just wish more people knew about this. I'm sure we all know a fellow mother, teacher, nurse, or daughter who would surely qualify for this in our own town whom we could nominate. I encourage you to check out more information on this interesting organization.
