                         WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH

  (Mrs. LAWRENCE asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mrs. LAWRENCE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in celebration of Women's 
History Month, where we recognize women who are living today, making a 
difference in America.
  I want to recognize a Detroit woman, Adrienne Bennett, who was the 
first Black female master plumber in the United States of America. She 
had already broken barriers and made history, and her impact only 
continues to soar in her position as the CEO of her own company.
  This month and every month, we must stand up and lift up women all 
across this country, ensuring our laws and policies empower and protect 
all women.
  Mr. Speaker, I stand here today as co-chair of the Women's Caucus and 
join women all over this country as we step up and ensure that this 
country, for the girls and young women coming behind us, is one of 
respect, one of equality, and one of opportunities.
