What is it and Why is it important?
Women’s history month is a time to reflect on the great achievements and contributions made by women in American History. Starting out as just a week in correspondence with International Women’s Day on March 8th. Presidential proclamation Women now have the entire month of March for recognition. Originally deemed as a local celebration in Santa Rosa, California, the movement spread across the country and Women’s History Week was born. Today, women all across the nation can enjoy more than a week getting to encourage and celebrate each other’s due diligence all March long.
Women’s History Month is a fantastic opportunity to celebrate women as easily as getting together with friends, attending a march or even listening to podcasts. Reading literature by some of the most infamous female authors like Jane Austen, Virginia Woolf, or Maya Angelou is not a bad place to start either. Writing thank you notes, brushing up on political topics, taking action, frame a quote, make an empowering women playlist, supporting female entrepreneurs or or a women’s nonprofit organizations are among the great ideas. There are plenty of opportunities to get involved and really make the most of Women’s History.
