Thanks for sharing this litany @margmowczko.bsky.social!
In the Presbyterian Church (USA), March 3rd this year is "Celebrate the Gifts of Women Sunday."
Here is a litany that was written for “Celebrate the Gifts of Women Sunday” in 2019.
I wish we could use this kind of litany more often.

Surprised beyond to learn that Sojourners ranked my Lectionary as one of the top books in faith and justice of the century (so far). Extremely touched to be on that list with my professor, Kelly Brown Douglas.
