Women's History Month Theme for 2020

Diversity and Inclusion

In 1980, President Jimmy Carter issued the first Presidential Proclamation declaring the Week of March 8th 1980 as National Women’s History Week. Since 1995, every US President has declared March to be Women's History Month.

This year's Women's History Month theme is “Valiant Women of the Vote.”  The theme honors "the brave women who fought to win suffrage rights for women, and for the women who continue to fight for the voting rights of others." As the 100th year anniversary of women's right to vote in the US, you can be sure there will be many celebrations.
