Women’s History Month is an annual celebration in March that recognizes and honors the contributions and achievements of women throughout history. It is held to increase awareness of women’s struggles, accomplishments, and contributions to society while promoting gender equality and women’s rights.

March was chosen as the month to celebrate Women’s History Month because of International Women’s Day, which falls on March 8th. Women’s History Month 2023 is “Celebrating Women Who Tell Our Stories.”
