What is National Women's History Month?
In March of 1980, President Jimmy Carter issued a Presidential Message to the American people encouraging the recognition and celebration of women’s historical accomplishments during the week of March 8.
In 1987, Congress passed a National Women’s History Month resolution. It was approved with strong bipartisan support in both the House and Senate.
Since 1992, a Presidential Proclamation has carried the directive for what is now a major national and international celebration.
The theme for this year is “Women who advocate for equity, diversity, and inclusion.”
