Women’s History Month celebrates women’s contributions to history, culture, and society. It has been observed annually in March in the United States since 1987.
Women’s History Month is dedicated to reflecting on the often overlooked contributions of women to United States history. From Abigail Adams to Susan B. Anthony, Sojourner Truth to Rosa Parks, the timeline of women’s history stretches back to the founding of the United States.
The 2024 theme for Women’s History Month (as chosen by the National Women’s History Alliance) is “Women Who Advocate for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion.” This theme recognizes women throughout the country who understand that, for a positive future, we need to eliminate bias and discrimination from our lives and institutions. Women from every background have long realized that an uneven playing field will never bring equality or justice. In 2024, we will recognize the example of women who are committed to embracing everyone and excluding no one in our common quest for freedom and opportunity. They know that people change with the help of families, teachers, and friends and that young people, in particular, need to learn the value of hearing from different voices with different points of view as they grow up.
