Introduction small medium large "Women have made up half the human race but you could never tell that by the books that historians write." -Arthur Schlessinger, Jr. Historian Why Women's History Month? Every March, the country celebrates the accomplishments of women throughout our nation's history. Here is the history behind the history month: On March 19, 1911, a German woman named Klara Zetkin organized the very first International Women's Day. In America, interest in International Women's Day did not become popluar until the women's movement in 1960s. Women were wondering why they had been left out of the history books! In 1978, a California school district started Women's History Week to promote the teaching of women's history. It was so popular that in 1981, Congress passed a resolution making the week a celebration for the entire country! In 1987, a group of women campaigned with representatives from museums, schools and libraries to expand the celebration, and Congress responded by declaring the entire Month of March National Women's History Month that very same year! source: Time For Kids http://www.timeforkids.com/TFK/specials/whm/0,8805,101046,00.html Automatically clean input to optimize for the web.
