About Women's History Month
Women’s History Month is a celebration of women’s contributions to history, culture, and society and has been observed annually in the month of March in the United States since 1987. The actual celebration of Women’s History Month grew out of a weeklong celebration of women’s contributions to culture, history and society organized by the school district of Sonoma, California, in 1978. Aside from the month-long celebration, International Women’s Day takes place on March 8, which is a global celebration of the economic, political and social achievements of women.
