Women’s History Month

2010 Theme:  Writing Women Back into History

This year will be the 30th anniversary of the National Women’s History Project (NWHP).  When it began mobilizing the lobbying effort that resulted in President Carter issuing a Presidential Proclamation declaring the week of March 8, 1980 as the first National Women’s History Week, NWHP had no idea what the future would bring. And then, in 1987, another successful lobbying effort resulted in Congress expanding the week into a month, and March is now National Women’s History Month.
