Victor Views: Women’s History Month + Int’l Women’s Day

March 2017

March is Women’s History Month and is meant to honor women and their past and present contributions to the world. The celebration first began in 1981 when Congress proclaimed the week of March 7th to be Women’s History Week. Petitioning by the National Women’s History Project in 1987 encouraged Congress to designate the entire month of March each year to officially become Women’s History Month. This year’s theme as declared by the National Women’s History Project is “Honoring Trailblazing Women in Labor and Business." If you want to learn more, check out the video and photo archives on the Women’s History Month website.
