What is Women’s History Month?
In the United States, March has been annually designated Women’s History Month by presidential proclamation for over 40 years. This observance is an opportunity to celebrate the vital role of women in American history. Women’s History Month started out as a local celebration in Santa Rosa, California; in 1980, thanks to an alliance of women’s groups and historians, the month achieved national recognition.
