About Women’s History Month
Women’s History Month is celebrated during March in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia.
Women’s history month had its roots as a national celebration in 1981 when Congress requested the President to proclaim the week beginning March 7, 1982, as “Women’s History Week.”
Congress continues to pass additional resolutions between 1988 and 1994, requesting the President to declare March of every year as Women’s History Month.
President designed numerous proclamations since 1995 to favour the view since then the March of every year is celebrated as women’s History Month.
