National Women’s History Month grew out of National Woman's Day which was first celebrated in the United States in nineteen hundred and nine. The observance was celebrated worldwide as International Women’s Day in nineteen eleven. Congress expanded it into a month-long celebration in the United States in nineteen eighty-seven.
This year’s National Women’s History Month celebration is called “Our History is Our Strength.” Programs and ceremonies are planned around the country to celebrate women’s successes.
