Witness the remarkable journey of Women's History Month, a vibrant celebration born from humble origins. It all began as National Women's History Week in Santa Rosa, California, aligned with the renowned International Women's Day on March 8. Empowered by their cause, women's groups petitioned Congress and the White House, leading to President Jimmy Carter proclaiming the first National Women's History Week in 1980. Congress later authorized a full week, then expanded it to a month-long celebration in 1987. Join us this March as we honor women's achievements, artistry, and resilience with captivating featurettes, programs, and documentaries.
