Women’s History Month

BonePage.com proudly recognizes Women’s History Month which is celebrated each March. You may have noticed we rather like women around here! However, this is a serious time for recognition and reflection. We gratefully recognize the achievements, strength, and efforts of women in history. We do have celebrate women throughout the year, but March is specifically set to appreciate the achievements of women in society.

Beginnings of Women’s History Month

The beginnings of Women’s History Month can be linked back to International Women’s Day which was celebrated for the first time in 1911. The observation of women’s achievements in the United States gained momentum toward the end of the twentieth century. In 1980, President Jimmy Carter recognized the first Women’s History Week. This observance was then elevated to cover an entire month in 1987 through an act of Congress. Each president of the United States since then has issued annual proclamations recognizing the contributions of women in science, politics, writing, sports, and activism, and many other fields.

Why We Need Women’s History Month

Women have always been strong and active in society regardless of the obstacles. Here are the reasons why it is important to recognize Women’s History Month:

Honor Trailblazers

There are many women in history who have made an impact on the world. Sojourner Truth, Susan B. Anthony, Marie Curie, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Malala Yousafzai are some female leaders that come to mind. There are many more in academia, the military, medicine, business, government, sports, journalism, and throughout the rest of society.

Acknowledge Progress

There is much to celebrate when it comes to women’s achievements in education, career, and leadership positions. However, the fight for women’s recognition is not over. This month’s celebration is a reminder of the need to remain committed to equal opportunities for both men and women.

Celebrate Everyday Women

Women have long been the backbone of families, balancing countless roles with unwavering strength, compassion, and resilience. As mothers, grandmothers, daughters, and sisters, they provide love, guidance, and support. These women often make sacrifices to ensure the well-being of their loved ones. From nurturing children and managing households to pursuing careers while holding families together, their contributions are immeasurable.

Many women put their own dreams on hold to care for others, yet they continue to inspire, lead, and shape the next generation. Their strength isn’t just in what they do but in the profound impact they have on those around them—offering wisdom, encouragement, and unconditional love. Recognizing Women’s History Month is also about appreciating the incredible sacrifices women make within families and celebrating their endless dedication.
