Girl Power!

On this day in 1849, Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell became the first woman in US history officially recognized as a physician.

Madeline Albright was sworn in as Secretary of State on this day in 1997, becoming the highest ranking female official in US history. She is succeeded by Condoleeza Rice and Hillary Clinton. Isn't it kind of amazing that the last three, yes THREE, presidents have chosen women for this prestigous position?

Sasha and Malia, we're so excited to see what you do!

Women are pretty fantastic creatures.
