                            LONG LIVE WOMEN

  (Ms. GARCIA of Texas asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. GARCIA of Texas. Mr. Speaker, this month we are celebrating 
Women's History Month. Women's History Month is a time to recognize all 
the work remarkable women across the world, past and present, have 
achieved. It is important to reflect on our accomplishments and 
recognize women trailblazers worldwide. It is incredible to see how far 
we have come.
  Mr. Speaker, while we have cause to celebrate all our achievements, 
our work isn't finished, and more must be done. Reproductive rights are 
being threatened. Many women are still fighting for equal pay for equal 
work, and the ERA is not in the Constitution.
  The fight continues until women are given the respect and dignity 
they rightly deserve. Let's celebrate and fight for a better tomorrow 
for women across the world.
  ``Long live women.'' ``Que viva la mujer.''
