Women\u2019s History Month began as an effort in the 1970s to revise the school curriculum in California to better reflect the role women played throughout US history. This lead to a Women\u2019s History Week in 1978, correlating with March 8, International Women\u2019s Day. In 1980, the National Women\u2019s History Project along with other advocacy groups and historians successfully lobbied for national recognition: President Jimmy Carter declared the week of March 8, 1980, as National Women\u2019s History Week by Presidential Proclamation. In 1987, Congress passes Public Law 100-9, designating March as Women\u2019s History Month.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>March is Women\u2019s History Month, and Trexler Library is here to help you recognize it with a display in our lobby and an\u00a0online resource guide.
