                   CELEBRATING WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH

  (Mr. ESPAILLAT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ESPAILLAT. Madam Speaker, I rise to honor women in America and 
abroad by commemorating Women's History Month.
  Today and always, we honor the brave, courageous, and fearless women 
who have made this Nation so great; to name a few: Rosa Parks, Harriet 
Tubman, Delores Huerta, Celia Cruz, the hidden figures such as Mary 
Jackson and Katherine Johnson, and most recently, Madam Speaker Emerita 
Nancy Pelosi, who was the first woman to serve as Speaker of this 
House.
  From the women in leadership roles on my staff who help respond every 
single day to the needs of my constituents, to the women who tirelessly 
uplift our families and our communities, we cannot imagine a world 
without the leadership of women.
  It fills me with great pride to represent a district that is over 52 
percent female. Women get things done--period, and they do it better 
than us men.
  Happy Women's History Month, Madam Speaker.
