She saved when there was nothing left. She sacrificed so her children could have more. She built futures with her bare hands—and asked for nothing in return.

This Women’s History Month, we honor the women who have always been the quiet architects of family security.

At RTL Associates, our work is a continuation of theirs. We help today’s women protect what they’ve built—so their legacies last, and their families are never left wondering.

To every mother, grandmother, caregiver, and woman who has ever put someone else first:
We see you. We honor you. And we’re here to protect your future.

In 1864, in the aftermath of the Civil War, a woman walked across a stage and into history.

Dr. Rebecca Lee Crumpler became the first Black woman physician in the United States.

Not because it was easy. Because it was necessary.

After earning her degree, she didn’t take the path of comfort. She went to Richmond, Virginia, to care for newly freed Black families who had no access to medical care. She worked through poverty, prejudice, and exhaustion—because healing was her mission.

She later wrote one of the first medical guides authored by a Black physician, ensuring her knowledge would outlive her.

Why does she matter to RTL Associates?

Because Dr. Crumpler understood what we believe: True protection is about showing up for people who need it most—and building something that lasts beyond you.

She healed bodies. We help families protect their futures. Both are acts of love, strength, and legacy.

This Women’s History Month, we honor the pioneers who paved the way—and the women still carrying that work forward today.

Before supersonic jets could soar, Dorothy McFadden Hoover did the math. ✈️🖤

Born in 1918 in Hope, Arkansas, the granddaughter of enslaved people, Dorothy graduated high school at age 15 and college by 19—one of only two math majors in her class .

But her greatest work was just beginning.

Hired as one of the first Black women "human computers" at NACA (later NASA) in 1943, Dorothy's brilliance quickly set her apart . She was selected to work directly with Robert T. Jones, one of the premier aeronautical engineers of the twentieth century—the first Black woman to join an integrated research division .

Her calculations and research helped design the "thin sweptback tapered wing" —the revolutionary design that makes supersonic flight possible .

Today, every aircraft that flies at supersonic speeds—commercial jets, fighter planes, even the space shuttle—uses Dorothy's design concepts .

She became:
✅ The first African American woman co-author on NASA research publications
✅ The first woman (of any race) to earn a master's in physics from the University of Arkansas
✅ One of the first Black women promoted to GS-13 in federal government
✅ A 2023 inductee into the Arkansas Women's Hall of Fame

Dorothy McFadden Hoover didn't just break barriers. She built wings that carried humanity higher.

At RTL Associates, we believe in honoring legacies like Dorothy's—women whose intellect, perseverance, and vision protected and propelled generations to come.

On this day, February 11, we pause to honor a quiet giant of American history. 🖤

Dr. Jane Cooke Wright (1919-2013) was a groundbreaking oncologist and surgeon who changed the way we fight cancer.

As one of the first Black women to graduate from Harvard Medical School and the first woman elected president of the New York Cancer Society, she shattered ceilings that had never been cracked.

But her true legacy? She pioneered chemotherapy as a treatment we could actually measure. Before Dr. Wright, cancer drugs were tested haphazardly. She developed the technique to test cancer drugs on human tissue cultures instead of live patients—revolutionizing how we treat the disease and saving millions of lives.

Her father was also one of the first Black graduates of Harvard Medical School. Together, they founded the Cancer Research Foundation at Harlem Hospital, proving that excellence and compassion are a powerful inheritance.

At RTL Associates, we believe in building legacies that protect future generations. Dr. Wright's relentless pursuit of better treatments, her refusal to accept limits, and her commitment to her community inspire us daily.
