The public celebration of women’s history in this country began in 1978 as “Women’s History Week” in Sonoma County, California.  The week included March 8, which was also International Women’s Day.  In 1981 Sen. Orrin Hatch {R-Utah} and Rep. Barbara Mikulski {D-Md.} co-sponsored a joint Congressional resolution proclaiming a national Women’s History Month, which congress expanded in 1987 to a monthly celebration with March being dedicated Women’s History Month.
