Women's History Month: March 2007

In honor of Women's History Month: March 2007 , please visit this website below to see most of the great accomplisments from women of our great nation. National Women’s History Month’s roots go back to March 8, 1857, when women from New York City factories staged a protest over working conditions. International Women’s Day was first observed in 1909, but it wasn’t until 1981 that Congress established National Women’s History Week during the second week of March. In 1987, Congress expanded the week to a month. Every year since, Congress has passed a resolution for Women’s History Month , and the president has issued a proclamation.
