It began as a small school celebration in California and grew throughout the communities into a week long celebration , that we now celebrate the full month of March.
After the wild fire effect of women expressing the blatant lack of information in regards to women in schools and every aspect of
life, except for the upkeep of the children, home & dinner, sparked the nation to realize the long unspoken issue of the "Invisible
Women".
Some recent encounters and moves toward equal rights and in the general recognition of women have been taking place just within the last 20
years.
Between 1988-1994, deliberations continued leading to congress passing additional resolutions requesting/authorizing the President to proclaim March of each year as Women's History Month and since 1995 our U.S. presidents have issued annual proclamations designating the month of March as Women's History Month.
It was in February of 1980, that President Jimmy Carter issued a presidential proclamation declaring the
week of March 8th, "National Women's History Week".
In 1987, after being petitioned by the National Women's History Project, Congress passed Pub. L. 100-9 For designating March as "Women's History
Month".
And International Woman's Rights Day is celebrated by many around the would on March 8th, since 1911 and began to gain popularity in America in
1975.
A few notable accounts of women's strides in equality;
In the 1970s women's history and the broader field of women's studies started to be included at many universities.(but not yet high schools nor middle and elementary schools.)
The 19th Amendment to the Constitution, granting women the right to vote, was signed into law by Secretary of State "Bainbridge Colby" in 1920.
Originally written by Susan B. Anthony and introduced in Congress in 1878,
"The federal woman suffrage amendment" is passed by the House of Representatives and the Senate in 1919. Then sent to the states for ratification.
