Did You Know?
Women’s History Month started as a national celebration in 1981, when Congress authorized
and requested the president to proclaim the week beginning March 7, 1982, as "Women’s
History Week." In 1987, after being petitioned by the National Women’s History Project,
Congress declared March as "Women’s History Month.” March also serves as Gender Equality
Month, which is also important to recognize. Please view the calendar for event details.
