The New Colossus
"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
~ Emma Lazarus (1849-1887) |

The calendar says March, and in the DOLs' House, that means it's once again time to honor the women who have inspired, entertained, and enlightened us. For the second year, we present a daily calendar of outstanding women who have given something to the world in art, science, sports, and politics. They blazed trails, they set standards, they smashed barriers, they proved that accomplishment goes beyond one action and serves as a beacon for all those who would follow.
This Women's History Month, we are proud to induct this new slate of thirty-one honorees into our DOL of Fame.

| There can be no accomplishment without liberty—whether freely granted or hard-won. This year's cover DOL is the most enduring symbol of liberty in the world today. Presented to the United States of America by her staunch, longtime ally France, Liberty Enlightening the World (the statue's official name) has stood guard over New York harbor for 116 years. Intended as a symbol of friendship between France and the United States, the statue has grown to become one of the greatest worldwide totems of freedom. From the immigrants who passed under her steady gaze on the way to pursuing the American Dream to the students in Tiananmen Square, China who constructed a model of Liberty to symbolize their doomed struggle for freedom, the statue has inspired wonder, joy, and hope to all who look upon her. |
