History
Women's History Month is an annual celebration dedicated to recognizing and appreciating the contributions of women in society. It originally started as a single day in 1909. From there, it evolved into Women’s History Week in 1978. Thanks to the actions of the education task force in Sonoma County, California, Women's History Week was established.

In the year 1987, Women's History Week became Women's History Month. The annual observance also falls in the same month as Women's day, which is celebrated on March 8th every year.
