Happy Saint Patrick’s Day during Women’s History Month!

THE IMPORTANCE OF MARCH AS WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH

During March—Women’s History Month—there will be special events and observances throughout the nation. Many will be online or cancelled.  In 1987, after being petitioned by the National Women’s History Project, the US Congress passed legislation designating March as Women’s History Month. The National Women’s History Project has now changed its name to the National Women’s History Alliance.
