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. |

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. |
