    EACH YEAR, WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH shines a light on the often unsung contributions of women around the world. This year, more than ever, women’s contributions deserve recognition. Like super glue, holding families and their communities together, women have done it all during the pandemic: Wife. Mother. Daughter. Teacher. Front-line worker. Caregiver. First responder. Professional. Politician—including, finally in the U.S., even VP.

     

    “I’ve seen all of the women in my life step up to work even harder—as caretakers for sick loved ones, teachers to their children, to help feed their communities and fight for social justice. The response of the women I know has left me in awe,” says Marci McGregor, senior investment strategist, Chief Investment Office, Merrill and Bank of America Private Bank.
