"Women’s History Month began as a local celebration in Santa Rosa, California.
The Education Task Force of the Sonoma County (California) Commission on the Status of Women planned and executed a “Women’s History Week” celebration in 1978.
The organizers selected the week of March 8 to correspond with International Women’s Day.
The movement spread across the country as other communities initiated their own Women’s History Week celebrations the following year."
