March is National Women's History Month
Join the Great Lakes ATTC, MHTTC, and PTTC in celebrating Women's History Month this March. In the United States, Women's History Month began as Women's History Week in 1980 when President Jimmy Carter signed a presidential proclamation. President Carter wrote, "Too often, women were unsung and sometimes their contributions went unnoticed. But the achievements, leadership, courage, strength, and love of the women who built America was as vital as that of the men whose names we know so well."
In 1987, Congress passed a law proclaiming the month of March as Women's History Month. However, long before being officially recognized, the first celebrated National Woman’s Day was held in New York City on February 28, 1909.
