• March is Women’s History Month 

DID YOU KNOW:  The first Women’s History Day took place on February 28, 1909, in New York City. It commemorated the one year anniversary of the 15,000 women who marched in the garment workers’ strikes. Then, the Education Task Force of the Sonoma County Commission on the Status of Women planned and launched a “Women’s History Week” celebration in 1978.

After being petitioned by the National Women’s History Project, Congress passed a declaration which designated the month of March 1987 as “Women’s History Month.” Throughout March, we celebrate women throughout the world. The 2023 Women's History Month theme is “Celebrating Women Who Tell Our Stories.”
