The Labor Origins of, Women's History Month:, Explained.
Though women should be celebrated
every day, March has been designated
National Women’s History Month.
Here's how March came to be
known as Women’s History Month.
Women’s History Month was birthed after
garment workers in New York City held a
massive protest on March 8, 1857.
The strike was repeated on the same date in
1908 and throughout the year, which led to March 8
being named International Women’s Day.
In 1978, activist Molly Murphy
MacGregor instituted a local
“women's history week”
in Sonoma, California.
It was recognized nationally
on a year-to-year basis in 1980 by
President Jimmy Carter.
By 1986, 14 states recognized March as Women’s
History Month, as a result of the hard work of
The National Women's History Project.
A year later, in 1987, the entire nation began celebrating National Women's Day in March

Why Women's History Month
Is in March.
In honor of the start of
Women’s History Month,
here’s a look back at its origins.
The United States, United Kingdom
and Australia all celebrate women
during the month of March.
The reason for this is a single day:
International Women’s Day,
which falls on March 8.
The United Nations officially recognized the day in 1977, though it had been observed since 1911.
Local groups and municipalities
also began celebrating National
Women’s Week in the 1970s.
After gaining enough traction,
the first official National Women’s
Week was declared by President
Jimmy Carter beginning on March 8, 1980.
According to the National Women’s History alliance, states began declaring the entire month Women’s History Month before a national push came in 1986.
Congress declared the first official
Women’s History Month in March 1987
