5 Facts About Women’s History Month

1. Women’s History Month can trace its roots back to 1857. During this time, women from various New York City factories protested poor working conditions.

2. The first Women’s Day celebration in the U.S. was in 1909. However, the catalyst for Women’s History Month began as a local weeklong celebration in Santa Rosa, California. In 1978, the Education Task Force of the Sonoma County Commission on the Status of Women planned a celebration that corresponded with International Women’s Day, and the movement took off across the country.

3. Women’s groups and historians lobbied for national recognition in 1980. In February of that year, President Jimmy Carter issued the first Presidential Proclamation declaring the week of March 8th as National Women’s History Week.

4. Congress designated the entire month of March Women’s History Month in 1987.

5. Dr. Gerda Lerner, who was a key figure in the fight for this national observance, said: “Women’s history is women’s right.”
