Anthony to civil rights icons like Sojourner Truth and Rosa Parks. What started as a local celebration in Sonoma, California, in 1978 grew into a national observance, first recognized as Women’s History Week by President Jimmy Carter in 1980. By 1987, Congress officially expanded the celebration to the entire month of March, providing a dedicated time to reflect on the vital role women have played in shaping our nation’s history, culture, and progress.
