March is National Women's History Month Women’s History Month started in 1978 in Sonoma County as a week centered around International Women’s Day (March 8). Since then, it has grown in size and duration. Starting in 1995, presidents have issued a series of annual proclamations designating March as "Women's History Month" to recognize the contributions women have made to America throughout history. The Library of Congress has a virtual exhibit about women who fought for the vote. Explore other virtual exhibits and collections that celebrate Women’s History Month, from arts & design, culture & folklife and historical places. |
