Women’s History Month

Women's History Month was originally derived from National Women's History Week, which was first celebrated in the United States in 1978 to highlight and honor the contributions of women in history, which had often been overlooked or underrepresented. In 1980, the National Women's History Project (NWHP) successfully petitioned Congress to establish a national week for the celebration, and with further petitioning, Congress expanded the celebration to the entire month of March, officially recognizing March as Women's History Month.

From trailblazers in science, politics, and art to activists fighting for social change, women have continually pushed boundaries, overcome obstacles, and inspired generations. Their resilience, strength, and unwavering commitment to creating a better world serve as a constant reminder of the power of determination and unity.

Women’s History Month is not just a time for reflection; it is a call to continue advocating for gender equality and to support the empowerment of women in every corner of the globe. Whether it’s celebrating the icons of history or amplifying the voices of today’s leaders, this month encourages us to honor women’s achievements and contributions that often go unnoticed.

Join us in celebrating the incredible impact women have had—and continue to have—on our world. Let’s take this time to reflect, acknowledge, and most importantly, continue working toward a future where women’s voices are heard, valued, and respected.

Happy Women's History Month! 🌸
