The Bank of America celebrates Women's History Month Tuesday with a ceremony at 1 Financial Plaza in Providence honoring six Rhode Island women: Lt. Gov. Elizabeth Roberts, Superior Court Judge Justice O. Rogeriee Thompson, Laurie White, president of the Greater Providence Chamber of Commerce, Linda Newton, vice-president of diversity and community relations for Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Barbara Morse-Silva, reporter at Channel 10 and Carol Malysz, vice-president of New Directions, Inc.

The women will share their accomplishments and what Women's History Month means to them. Rhode Island Secretary of State A. Ralph Mollis will attend the ceremony, bringing two documents with him.

One is the original law granting Rhode Island women the right to vote, signed on April 22, 1920. The other is the statment of intent, signed by then-Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, declaring her intention to run in Rhode Island's presidential primary last year.
