Women's History Month is celebrated every March in the United States to recognize and honor the contributions of women throughout history. This month highlights the achievements of women in various fields, including politics, science, art, and social justice. It serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle for gender equality and the importance of women's rights. The celebration began as a national celebration in 1981 when Congress passed a resolution to make March Women's History Week. Over the years, it expanded to a month-long observance, encouraging educational programs and events that focus on the stories of influential women, such as Susan B. Anthony, Rosa Parks, and Malala Yousafzai.
