How Did Women’s History Month Start


Women’s History Month started from a grassroots effort in Santa Rosa, California back in 1978.

It began as a local celebration called “Women’s History Week,” coinciding with International Women’s Day on March 8th.

People wanted to shine a light on the amazing things women have done throughout history, which often get overlooked.

Eventually, this led to President Jimmy Carter declaring the entire month of March as Women’s History Month in 1980. It’s grown since then, becoming a global celebration of women’s achievements and contributions to society.

Does Women’s History Month Have a Color

While there isn’t a specific color officially associated with Women’s History Month, the color purple is often used to symbolize women’s empowerment and solidarity.

Purple has historically been associated with feminism and the women’s suffrage movement.
