                   CELEBRATING WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH

  (Ms. KAPTUR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Speaker, when I entered the House of Representatives, 
I was 1 of just 24 women serving in Congress. Today, there are 154 
women in Congress, out of 540 Members of the House and Senate. What 
progress our country has made in recognizing and embracing the equal 
role of women in all aspects of our society.
  This Women's History Month, we have the opportunity to celebrate the 
success and sacrifices of those who have committed themselves to 
uplifting women, families, and our society.
  Meanwhile, let's also rededicate ourselves to continuing to fight for 
the advancement and security of our mothers, wives, sisters, 
grandmothers, godmothers, and daughters.
  It is more imperative than ever for us to carry forward the legacy of 
those who came before us and to do our part to pave the way for future 
generations. Let us embrace a world where there is no limit to what 
women can be and what we can achieve together.
