March is National Women’s History Month.
National Women’s History Month is a celebration designated by Joint Resolutions of the House and Senate and Proclamations by five American Presidents, that is an opportunity to honor and celebrate women’s historic achievements.
Each year National Women’s History Month employs a unifying theme and recognizes national honorees whose work and lives testify to that theme. For 2011, the theme is Our HISTORY is Our Strength. This year, instead of recognizing national honorees, local communities, organizations and institutions throughout the country are asked to honor women within their own communities or organizations.
