WORCESTER As a father of four daughters and nephew to nine aunts, and in his role as director of a local women s empowerment program that mixes athletics and community service, District 1 Councilor Sean Rose said he understands why it s so important to acknowledge the contribution of women to society.
Women s History Month starts Monday, and Rose has made a point in his time on the City Council of calling for a resolution marking the month that celebrates contributions women have made to the U.S. and recognizes specific achievements in a variety of fields. Obviously we have tremendous respect for Worcester women like Frances Perkins, Abby Kelley Foster, Esther Howland, and so on, so any time we have the opportunity to come together and acknowledge them and move forward here, it is really critical and important, Rose said.
