I would just like to take a moment to recognize that it is Women’s History Month! Although the overwhelming majority of this community is male, it is pertinent that women receive equal representation. The struggle for women to achieve equal rights has been a struggle for centuries, and it still ongoing today. Women’s History Month had its origins as a national celebration in 1981 when Congress passed Pub. L. 97-28 which authorized and requested the President to proclaim the week beginning March 7, 1982 as “Women’s History Week.” Throughout the next five years, Congress continued to pass joint resolutions designating a week in March as “Women’s History Week.” In 1987 after being petitioned by the National Women’s History Project, Congress passed Pub. L. 100-9 which designated the month of March 1987 as “Women’s History Month.” Between 1988 and 1994, Congress passed additional resolutions requesting and authorizing the President to proclaim March of each year as Women’s History Month. Since 1995, presidents have issued a series of annual proclamations designating the month of March as “Women’s History Month.” These proclamations celebrate the contributions women have made to the United States and recognize the specific achievements women have made over the course of American history in a variety of fields. Some women who have made a significant impact on history are Abigail Adams, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Maya Angelou, Sojourner Truth, Rosa Parks, and Malala Yousafzai. Take some time out of your day to research women’s history and you will be shocked with what you find. Most importantly, make sure to respect the females in your life!
