About National Women's History Month
Education , United States
Ends: Mar 31, 2024
DESCRIPTION:
In 1986, 14 states declared March as Women's History Month, and Congress declared the entire month of March 1987 National Women's History Month in perpetuity. A special Presidential Proclamation is issued annually, which honors American women's extraordinary achievements.
Presidential Message 1980
President Jimmy Carter's Message to the nation designating March 2-8, 1980, as National Women's History Week.
"From the first settlers who came to our shores, from the first American Indian families who befriended them, men and women have worked together to build this nation. Too often, the women were unsung, and sometimes their contributions went unnoticed. But the achievements, leadership, courage, strength, and love of the women who built America were as vital as that of the men whose names we know so well.
As Dr. Gerda Lerner has noted, "Women's History is Women's Rights." – It is an essential and indispensable heritage from which we can draw pride, comfort, courage, and long-range vision."
I ask my fellow Americans to recognize this heritage with appropriate activities during National Women's History Week, March 2-8, 1980.
I urge libraries, schools, and community organizations to focus their observances on the leaders who struggled for equality—Susan B. Anthony
Stone, Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Harriet Tubman, and Alice Paul. Understanding our country's true history will help us comprehend the need for full equality under the law for all our people. This goal can be achieved by ratifying the 27th Amendment to the United States Constitution, which states that "Equality of Rights under the Law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state on account of sex."
