Write A Note To Your Younger Self For Women’s History Month [Survey]

Women make up just over half (50.5 percent) of the U.S. population. Their roles and influence have shifted greatly during our nation’s almost 250-year history and continue to do so.

In celebration of Women’s History Month throughout March and International Women’s Day on March 8, we’re asking Patch readers to write notes to their younger selves sharing advice based on their life experiences.

Such messages have grown in popularity in recent years, with women from all walks of life giving their younger selves pep talks and inspiration.

What would you tell your younger self about taking risks, trusting yourself or letting go of worry over things that are beyond your control? What would you say to teenage you about raising children, succeeding in a career, being a CEO or elected official, love and marriage, or a range of situations and experiences women encounter?

One note: Guys, we’re not leaving you out. You can respond to the survey, too. If you knew then what you know now what would you tell the teenage version of your daughter, sister or woman you’re mentoring?

Please fill out the survey below and we may use your note in a story on Patch. As always, Patch doesn’t collect email addresses.
