Happy Women’s History Month.
Celebrate International Women’s Day (March 8th)
Women’s economic security in the year of the meltdown.

On March 8th, 1911 the first International Women’s Day was observed in Europe, where women’s rights was a hot topic as it was in the United States.

In 1978 the Education Task Force of Sonoma (California) County Commission on the Status of Women began “a women’s history week” to coincide with International Women’s Day.

In 1987 the U. S. Congress passed a resolution co-sponsored by Orrin Hatch (R Utah) and Barbara Mulkulski (D Maryland) to recognize National Women’s history week. In 1988 the resolution put forth by the National Women’s History Project that passed congress expanded the week to a month.
