Women’s History Month is an annual celebration held in March to honor the contributions and achievements of women throughout history. It highlights the social, economic, cultural, and political accomplishments of women, acknowledging their impact on society and the struggles they’ve faced in the pursuit of equality.The origins of Women’s History Month trace back to International Women's Day on March 8th, which was established in the early 20th century. In 1981, the U.S. Congress passed a resolution recognizing Women’s History Week, and in 1987, after petitions from the National Women’s History Project, Congress designated March as Women’s History Month.
Throughout the month, schools, organizations, and communities celebrate women’s history through various educational programs, exhibits, and events. Themes often focus on highlighting historical figures, addressing gender inequalities, and promoting the empowerment of women.
