Women’s History Month is an annual whole month celebration that highlights women’s contributions to history and contemporary society. Thanks to the Education Task Force of the Sonoma County (California) Commission, we can celebrate Women’s History Month, which in 1978 introduced the “Women’s History Week.” In February 1980, President Jimmy Carter issued the first Presidential Proclamation that declared the Week of March 8th, 1980, as National Women’s History Week, to coincide with International Women’s Day.In 1987 the United States Congress passed the Public Law 100-9 to designate March as “Women’s History Month.” And since 1995, each president has proclaimed to honor the holiday.According to the National Women’s History Museum, since 1987, women’s groups and historians led by the National Women’s History Alliance have selected and published a yearly theme. Such a theme generally captures the times women are experiencing at the moment; for 2021; the alliance decided to extend the 2020 name from “Valiant Women of the Vote“ to “Valiant Women of the Vote: Refusing to Be Silenced.”How to celebrate Women’s History Month 2121The National Women’s History Museum issued a schedule with daily readings and activities to commemorate the whole month.March 1–5 MondayDiscover the history behind women’s history month.TuesdayExplore one of the biographies featured in the monthly “Fab Five” roundup!WednesdayExplore the online exhibit, First but Not the Last.Learn more about barrier-breaking women who ran for office and ensured women are present wherever decisions are being made.ThursdayCelebrate the groundbreaking “first” of a woman in national office through the visual arts!FridayLearn more about women’s history by virtually visiting the National Women’s Hall Of Fame.
