Why We Celebrate: 5 Key Facts About Women’s History Month
1. It Started as a Single Day
International Women’s Day was first celebrated in March 8, 1908 in the United States, inspired by women’s labor movements. It later became a global movement advocating for gender equality and women's rights.
2. Women’s History Month Began in 1987
Originally, Women’s History Week was celebrated in the U.S. in March, but after growing recognition, Congress officially expanded it to Women’s History Month in 1987.
3. Each Year Has a Unique Theme
The National Women’s History Alliance selects a theme for Women’s History Month annually. The 2025 theme is "Moving Forward Together! Women Educating & Inspiring Generations," focusing on celebrating the collective strength and influences of women who have dedicated their lives to mentorship, leadership, and education.
4. Women’s Contributions Are Everywhere
From science to politics, arts to activism, women have shaped history in every field. Yet, many of their stories remain untold, making this month an opportunity to educate and uplift their legacies.
5. More Countries Are Recognizing It
While Women’s History Month started in the U.S., countries worldwide now celebrate women’s achievements in various ways, from national holidays to educational programs and advocacy efforts.
