﻿﻿March is Women's History Month. Every year, we celebrate those who helped make a difference for women all over the globe.

Right now, you're probably thinking of a few. Susan B. Anthony. Hillary Clinton. Serena Williams. Oprah. The list goes on. But there are many women who we may never know. Women who marched. Women who fought. Women who were even arrested.



We may not know their names, but they've made it clear what they stand for. Take a look at a few women who stood up for what they believed in and ended up in handcuffs.
