Which month is designated for Women’s History Month?

March is designated as Women's History Month in the United States. This month is significant as it serves to recognize and celebrate the contributions of women to society, history, culture, and the economy. The celebration began as a national celebration in 1981 when Congress passed a resolution to make the week of March 8 National Women's History Week. It gained further recognition when, in 1987, Congress passed legislation to designate the entire month of March as Women's History Month.
