Women’s History Month

March is the month we honor the women of America who through their deep commitment to public service and leadership, have made incalculable contributions to our Country. The first Women’s History Week was celebrated after Congress passed Public Law 97-28 in 1981, and President Regan’s Proclamation 4903 in 1982. Since 1995, March has been proclaimed Women’s History Month. Check out the 2016 Honorees and the legislative documents from these links. Don’t forget, the Library has great information about this subject in many formats!
