Melinda French notes women break barriers and records nationwide
Women reach new U.S. milestones

Women achieved measurable progress across the U.S. last night, breaking both records and long-standing barriers. Melinda French recognized these advances, attributing them to generations of women who have previously challenged restrictive norms and opened opportunities. Her statement reinforces the lasting impact of sustained advocacy and the growing presence of women in key roles across the country. French called the latest milestones a reminder of the continued trajectory toward gender equity.

French has previously cited Margaret Hamilton’s contributions to lunar safety and software engineering as an example of women’s leadership in STEM fields. Earlier this year, she announced more than $600 million in new funding for women’s health. Both efforts align with her ongoing focus on advancing opportunities for women.
