BERKELEY HEIGHTS, NJ- Women’s history month was first celebrated in 1911 in Austria, Denmark, Germany, and Switzerland by men and women who campaigned for women’s rights. This international celebration has grown dramatically since and, today, almost all countries celebrate the influence and importance of female figures throughout history.
Two influential female leaders at Governor Livingston, Guidance Counselor Michelle Morin and senior Caitlin Dougherty, continue to use their unique experiences to offer young girls valuable lessons.
Morin, who is in her 16th year as a counselor and is also the adviser of Student Ambassadors, has seen firsthand the importance of female representation in the workplace. “It’s important in a learning environment,” she said, “for all people, including females, to have people to look up to, to emulate,” Morin said.
