National Women's History Month Celebration

National Women's History Month's roots go back to March 8, 1857, when women
from New York City factories staged a protest over working conditions.
International Women's Day was first observed in 1909, but it wasn't until
1981 that Congress established National Women's History Week to be
commemorated the second week of March. In 1987, Congress expanded the week
to a month. Every year since, Congress has passed a resolution for Women's
History Month, and the president has issued a proclamation.

During Women's History Month, we celebrate the courage, foresight, and
resolve of women who have strengthened our democracy. America has been
transformed by strong women whose contributions shaped the history of our
country. Amelia Earhart became the first woman to fly solo across the
Atlantic, and she inspired generations of women to follow their dreams.
Physicist Chien-Shiung Wu helped advance our knowledge and understanding of
the world through her achievements in atomic research. Harriet Tubman
fought racial injustice and opened doors for more Americans to participate
fully in our society.

Today, women are continuing this legacy of leadership as entrepreneurs,
doctors, teachers, scientists, lawyers, artists, and public officials. They
are also providing guidance and care to their loved ones and strengthening
America's families and communities.

This year's theme, Women Taking the Lead to Save Our Planet, encourages the
recognition of the important work of women in the on-going "green movement"
and to acknowledge women in communities, states, and throughout the country
including; scientists, engineers, business leaders, writers, filmmakers,
conservationists, teachers, community organizers, religious leaders, or
others whose lives show exceptional vision and leadership to save our
planet.
