March is Women's History Month, an annual celebration that highlights the struggles and achievements of American women throughout the history of the United States. Women's History Month had its origins in 1981 as "Women's History Week." In 1987 after being petitioned by the National Women's History Project, Congress designated March 1987 as "Women's History Month." Since then Congress has authorized the President to proclaim March of each year as Women’s History Month. This guide provides a sampling of the wide variety of materials the Consortium Library has on women's history.

The 2025 theme for National Women’s History Month is: “Moving Forward Together! Women Educating & Inspiring Generations.”
"This theme celebrates the collective strength and influence of women who have dedicated their lives to education, mentorship, and leadership. Through their efforts, they have served as an inspiration for all generations — both past and present."
