What History Month Is in March
March is recognized as Women's History Month in the United States, a time to highlight the roles women have played in shaping the nation's economy, politics, and culture.
Why March Is Women's History Month
The observance grew from a local celebration in California in 1978 and expanded to a national level when Congress passed a joint resolution in 1987, designating March as Women's History Month.
How Organizations and Financial Institutions Mark the Month
Many companies, schools, and financial institutions host events, publish educational resources, and spotlight women leaders in finance, entrepreneurship, and public service. For more background, visit the official U.S. government Women's History Month page at WomensHistory.gov.
