Women's History Month
March is Women's History Month and is set aside to honor women’s contributions in American history.
Celebrating Women of Distinction
This year’s National Women’s History Month theme is “Celebrating Women Who Tell Our Stories."
The theme celebrates women, past and present, who have been active in all forms of media and storytelling including print, radio, TV, stage, screen, blogs, podcasts, news, and social media.
This timely theme honors women in every community who have devoted their lives and talents to producing art and news, pursuing truth and reflecting society decade after decade.
