Women’s History Month means “celebrating women’s accomplishments and the contributions that they have made to make life better for others. Most women history makers equip, empower, and encourage not only women, but men and the community to believe they can achieve.”
“The contributions of women through the years have often gone unappreciated and forgotten but each year, in March, Women’s History Month is a time for reflection, appreciation, and celebration. Women’s History Month is an important time to recognize contributions both large and small that have changed our lives for the better.”
Women’s History Month began in 1980 when a group of women convinced Congress and the White House of the need for our nation to celebrate and recognize women’s role in history on an annual basis.
On Tuesday, March 8, 2022, we will also celebrate International Women’s Day, a day of celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women.
