Some women don’t make the history books. Let’s change that. 🤝

She may not have made headlines — but she made a home, a table, a community. 💕She kept the language alive at dinner. She drove hours to get her kids to Udaleku. She was the first one to say yes when the club needed help, and the last one to take credit.

Her story matters. And it deserves to be written down. ✨🖊📖

The BEO’s Impact of Women in Basque Communities — Edition 3 — is a hardcover book dedicated to these women. The ones we see every day. The ones we can’t imagine our lives without.

Submit her page before August 16 and save $10. We’ll even help you write it if you need us to. 💛
