Women's History Month - March 2013
With roots that can be traced back to 1978, the first celebration of Women's History Month began in Santa Rosa, CA as an unofficial women’s history week, which involved over one hundred women sharing special presentations in the classrooms of local school communities, an essay competition and a parade. After news of the great success in Santa Rosa, the movement quickly grew. In February of 1980, President Carter announced the week of March 8th (International Women’s Day) as the National Women’s History Week. By 1986, 14 states had already declared the entire month of March as Women’s History Month. One year later, Congress agreed and announced it officially!
Join The Office of Academic & Student Affairs as we celebrate Women’s History Month and all those who continue to struggle for women’s rights to equality!
