Women’s History Month as you know is this month. It got its start with International Women’s Day back in 1911.

In 1978, Women’s History Week was introduced. By 1981, Congress recognized the week. And in 1987, Congress expanded Women’s History Week to Women’s History Month. And each year month has a theme.
