In honor of Women's History Month, we celebrate the impact women have made in our lifetime. Yet despite the progress, there are still biases and disparities that we encounter.

This year's theme — #BreaktheBias —spotlights the individual and collective biases against women that fuel gender inequality. While we have been moving in the right direction, there is much more to do. For example, if you consider the fact women are still facing a pay gap, you wonder why this is still the case.
