Why We Celebrate Women's History Month

Home   On the Blog   Why We Celebrate Women's History Month

by Amber Bowie February 28, 2023

Women's History Month is celebrated annually in March in many countries around the world, including the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom. The month-long celebration is dedicated to recognizing and celebrating the contributions of women to history, society, and culture.

The origins of Women's History Month can be traced back to the United States, where it began as Women's History Week in 1981. The week-long celebration was established to coincide with International Women's Day on March 8th. In 1987, Congress passed a resolution designating March as Women's History Month, and the celebration has continued to grow and evolve ever since.

During Women's History Month, people honor the accomplishments and contributions of women throughout history, from political leaders and activists to artists and writers. The celebration also provides an opportunity to raise awareness about the ongoing struggles for gender equality and to advocate for women's rights.

Some of the key themes and events that are often associated with Women's History Month include:

  • Celebrating the achievements of notable women throughout history, such as suffragettes, civil rights activists, and scientists.
  • Highlighting the ongoing fight for gender equality and women's rights around the world.
  • Recognizing the accomplishments of contemporary women who are breaking down barriers and making a difference in their communities.
  • Hosting events, workshops, and lectures that focus on women's history and issues related to gender equality.
  • Encouraging people to learn more about women's history and to celebrate the contributions of women in their own lives and communities.

Overall, Women's History Month is an important time to recognize the impact that women have had on history and to continue working towards a more just and equitable world for all genders.
