National Women Inventors Month, observed annually in February in the United States, is a celebration and acknowledgment of the contributions of women inventors to science, technology, industry, and daily life. This observance highlights the often-overlooked achievements of women in innovation and aims to inspire future generations of women to explore their inventive potential.NATIONAL WOMEN INVENTORS MONTH HISTORY
In the late 20th century, the National Archives of the United States created National Women Inventors Month to focus on gender disparities in science and technology. The month-long observance addresses the historical underrepresentation of women in the patenting process and brings attention to the groundbreaking work of women inventors.
National Women Inventors Month raises awareness about women's contributions to innovation despite facing barriers, including gender bias and limited access to funding and resources. Likewise, the month seeks to inspire and empower young girls and women, encouraging them to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) and to bring their ideas and inventions to fruition.NATIONAL WOMEN INVENTORS MONTH ACTIVITIES

Awards and recognition ceremonies acknowledge current female innovators and provide role models for young women and girls.
Since its inception, National Women Inventors Month has contributed to a growing awareness and appreciation of women's role in innovation and technology. It has become a platform for discussing issues related to gender equity in STEM fields and advocating for increased support for female inventors. By highlighting the contributions of female inventors, the month encourages a new generation of women to pursue their inventive and creative potential.
