APRIL NIBJ: North Idaho Alliance: Women of Impact — March is Women’s History Month
Each year, March is designated as Women’s History Month through a presidential proclamation, honoring the significant contributions of women throughout American history.
The observance began as a local celebration in Santa Rosa, California, where the Education Task Force of the Sonoma County Commission on the Status of Women organized a “Women’s History Week” in 1978. This celebration was strategically scheduled for the week of March 8 to align with International Women’s Day. The movement quickly gained momentum, inspiring other communities across the nation to initiate their own Women’s History Week celebrations the following year.
