Women’s History Month first began as Women’s History Week, when Congress requested the president proclaim the week of March 7, 1982, as “Women’s History Week.” Over the next five years, Congress continued to pass resolutions designating a week in March as Women’s History Week. Finally, in 1987 after being petitioned by the National Women’s History Project, Congress passed Public Law 100-9, which designated March as Women’s History Month, according to the Women’s History Month website.
In light of this event, the Gender and Sexuality Resource Center has set up a multitude of events throughout the month.
