Every year in March we celebrate Women\u2019s History Month and every year there is a different theme. This year\u2019s theme is \u201c<\/span>Moving Forward Together! Women Educating & Inspiring Generations<\/span><\/a>\u201d. During Women\u2019s History Month, various events and initiatives are organized to acknowledge and highlight the significant contributions of women throughout history.\u00a0<\/span>
\n<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to take the time to recognize all the significant contributions women have made to the world because, unfortunately, women\u2019s accomplishments are often overlooked and undervalued and their roles in national and global history often go unnoticed, mainly because their focus is most often on achieving tangible goals rather than seeking recognition.<\/span><\/p>\n

How This Annual Celebration Evolved<\/b><\/p>\n

International Women\u2019s Day, established in 1909 to honor women\u2019s historical contributions and acknowledge their ongoing struggle for recognition and rights, had been celebrated annually on March 8th. In the 1970s, schools in the United States began dedicating March to studying women\u2019s history, issues, and contributions. In 1987, Congress specifically designated March to recognize and celebrate the remarkable accomplishments of women in American history.<\/span><\/p>\n
