Women Bring Distinct Perspective To Politics, Life: East Windsor Mayor

EAST WINDSOR, NJ – Women’s History Month is observed in March, and encourages study, observance and celebration of the role of women in America’s history.

East Windsor Mayor Janice Mironov, along with local and county officials, recently issued a proclamation recognizing Women’s History Month.

“It is important to take time to remind everyone of the important roles women play in our communities and in government,” Mironov said. “Women bring a different perspective to the table, and encourage, cultivate and mentor other women in making their own life decisions.”

Joining Mironov in issuing the proclamation were Councilmember Denise Daniels, Sen. Linda Greenstein, Assemblywoman Verlina Reynolds-Jackson, Mercer County Clerk Paula Sollami-Covello, Mercer County Board of Commissioners Chair Lucylle Walter and Mercer County Commissioner Nina Melker.

Mironov thanked the “accomplished elected officials” as examples of women to encourage other women who are interested in public service.

The Mayoral Proclamation issued by Mayor Mironov states:

“The contributions made by women to our civic, political and cultural life throughout the history of the United States, the State of New Jersey and the Township of East Windsor are noteworthy and have benefited all of us. Women have made important changes in areas including social reform, women’s equality, health care reform, education reform, archaeology and anthropology, business and politics.”

Women’s History Month began as a national celebration in 1980 when President Jimmy Carter proclaimed the week of March 8, 1980 “Women’s History Month,” highlighting women’s history as an essential and indispensable heritage that is crucial to understanding the true history of our country and the need for full equality under the law for all.
