             CONTRIBUTIONS OF LATINAS IN THE UNITED STATES

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. J. LUIS CORREA

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 14, 2019

  Mr. CORREA. Madam Speaker, one in six women in the United States is a 
Latina. There are currently nearly twenty-eight million Hispanic women 
living in the United States. Latinas have been part of our nation's 
fabric from the start. They contribute to our nation through their work 
in business, education, science and technology, engineering, 
mathematics, literature and the arts, the military, and public service 
at every level of the government. Many have overcome a unique set of 
challenges and have paved their own paths to success. During National 
Women's History Month, I want to honor the millions of Latinas who have 
contributed to our nation.
  Therefore, I am reintroducing a resolution recognizing the heritage, 
culture, and contributions of Latinas in the United States. This 
resolution will recognize their contributions to American society and 
further celebrates those who have inspired the next generation.
