Why Women’s History Month?
In 1982, President Reagan declared March 7 as the beginning of Women’s History Week. Five years later, the National Women’s Project petitioned Congress to designate March as Women’s History Month. Since 1995, Presidents Clinton, Bush, Obama and Trump have issued a series of annual proclamations designating the month of March as “Women’s History Month.” These proclamations celebrate and recognize the contributions and specific achievements women have made over the course of American history in a variety of fields (Library of Congress).
