March celebrates Women’s National History Month

In 1989 Congress passed the Pub. L. 97-28 which authorized and requested the President to proclaim the week beginning March 7, 1982, as Women’s History Week. For the next five years, Congress continued to pass joint resolutions designating a week in March as Women’s History Week. In 1987, it was petitioned by the National Women’s History Project that congress pass Pub. L. 100-9 officially making the whole month of March Women’s History Month.
