Our favorite time of the year is Women’s History Month. So much history is locked away, stored in long-forgotten photo albums.
Women’s History Month is the perfect time to value and celebrate the diversity of voices, people, and ideas.
Have you ever noticed how the female perspective is often missing in history books? It’s like history is only told from the point of view of those with power. It’s like, we’re not even mentioned in the history books. We’re just like, wow, what happened to all the women? I mean, we’re not even mentioned in the history books. What happened to all the women? Like, seriously, what happened to all the women? Where are all the women?

History of WHM. Women’s History Month had its origins as a national celebration in 1981 when Congress passed Pub. L. 97-28 which authorized and requested the President to proclaim the week beginning March 7, 1982, as “Women’s History Week.” Throughout the next five years, Congress continued to pass joint resolutions designating a week in March as “Women’s History Week.” In 1987 after being petitioned by the National Women’s History Project, Congress passed Pub. L. 100-9 which designated the month of March 1987 as “Women’s History Month.” Between 1988 and 1994, Congress passed additional resolutions requesting and authorizing the President to proclaim March of each year as Women’s History Month. Since 1995, presidents have issued a series of annual proclamations designating the month of March as “Women’s History Month.” These proclamations celebrate the contributions women have made to the United States and recognize the specific achievements women have made over the course of American history in a variety of fields.
