March is Women’s History Month, a time to study and appreciate impactful women across the country. Whether it’s a family member, a public figure you look up to, or a female trailblazer from history, this month is a great time to commemorate these amazing people and their influence on society.
For a bit of historical context, President Jimmy Carter designated the first official National Women’s History Week starting March 8, 1980. In 1987, Congress officially declared March as Women’s History Month. Today, it is celebrated across the United States, United Kingdom and Australia as a time to honor feminist movements and historical accomplishments.
