?? On This Day – March 3, 1913 ?? ?? A Historic March for Equality! ?? On March 3, 1913, more than 8,000 brave women took to the streets of Washington, D.C. for the Woman Suffrage Procession, demanding a constitutional amendment guaranteeing the right to vote. Led by Alice Paul and the National American Woman Suffrage Association, this bold demonstration took place the day before President Woodrow Wilson’s inauguration, ensuring the call for women's rights could not be ignored.

?? This March, we’re celebrating Women’s History Month by highlighting major milestones in women’s history. Throughout the month, we’ll recognize key moments that have shaped progress, advocacy, and empowerment. ???To start, we look back to March 1, 1978, when Women’s History Week was first observed in Sonoma County, California. This local initiative sparked a nationwide movement, and in 1980, President Jimmy Carter officially recognized Women’s History Week, encouraging the country to honor women’s contributions throughout history. This recognition laid the foundation for Women’s History Month, which was officially designated by Congress in 1987. From a single week to a month-long celebration, the journey of honoring women's achievements continues! Stay tuned as we spotlight more pivotal moments throughout March. #WomensHistoryMonth #OnThisDay #WomenInspire #MovingForwardTogether
