   INTRODUCTION OF RESOLUTION RECOGNIZING THE HERITAGE, CULTURE, AND 
             CONTRIBUTIONS OF LATINAS IN THE UNITED STATES

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. J. LUIS CORREA

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, March 26, 2021

  Mr. CORREA. Madam Speaker, one in six women in the United States is a 
Latina. There are currently nearly twenty-nine 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, medicine, engineering, 
mathematics, literature and the arts, the military, agriculture, 
hospitality, and public service at every level of the government. 
Latinas have served as essential workers throughout the COVID-19 
pandemic and have kept the economy going and the people of the United 
States safe. 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.
