Women's History Month : March
Updated on 03/19/2024
Women’s History Month is a dedicated month to reflect on the often-overlooked contributions of women to United States history. From Abigail Adams to Susan B. Anthony, Sojourner Truth, to Rosa Parks, the timeline of women's history milestones stretches back to the founding of the United States.
The actual celebration of Women's History Month grew out of a week long celebration of women’s contributions to culture, history and society organized by the school district of Sonoma, California, in 1978. Presentations were given at dozens of schools, hundreds of students participated in a “Real Woman” essay contest and a parade was held in downtown Santa Rosa.
