Each year, March is designated as National Women&8217;s History Month to ensure that the history of American women will be recognized and celebrated in schools, workplaces, and communities throughout the country. The stories of women’s historic achievements present an expanded view of the complexity and contradiction of living a full and purposeful life.

The knowledge of women’s history provides a more expansive vision of what a woman can do. This perspective can encourage girls and women to think larger and bolder and can give boys and men a fuller understanding of the female experience.

The theme for Women&8217;s History Month 2007 is &8220;Generations of Women Moving History Forward.&8221;

This theme celebrates the wisdom and tenacity of prior and future generations of women and recognizes the power and impact of generations working together.

Moving History Forward is a process of individuals coming together for the greater good of the society and confirming the idea that individuals working together can be effective in building a better, more compassionate world.

Congress declared the month of March Women&8217;s History Month in 1987.
