March is women's history month. History is full of  examples of women who inspite of great obstacles personal economical racial etc invented things, brought about events that dramatically improved  human lives. However, on a daily basis our moms support us, comfort us, act as our cheerleaders wen we need it, feed us ,offer a shoulder to cry on and a ear to listen. They are the superheros without a cape.#womenshistorymonth #smilesofsanmarcos
