National Women’s History Month
2009-03-16 | Filed Under Events |
March is National Women’s History Month (NWHM). Organized by the Education Task Force of the Sonoma (California) Commission on the Status of Women, NWHM began as “Women’s History Week” in 1978. The week of March the 8th was selected in order to correspond with International Women’s Day. In 1981, the Task Force secured a Congressional Resolution declaring a “National Women’s History Week” that was expanded to the entire month of March in 1987 after additional petitioning by the National Women’s History Project.
