Today is International Women’s Day. Everyone has a part to play – all the time, everywhere, according to the International Women’s Day website.
As a publication dedicated to celebrating differences and achievements we would like to take the opportunity to recognize some great examples on this Women’s Day.

We have celebrated all these ladies and more. These are only a small amount of the women both young and old to be celebrated in Bladen County.
Recently, on a trip to Asheboro, we stopped in the Aviation and Hall of Fame Museum. There our BladenOnline.com staff found some women aviators to celebrate as well.
