Women's History Month

By

March marks the celebration of Women’s History Month and an opportunity to highlight the contributions of women throughout history and contemporary society.

This year’s theme is “Women Providing Healing, Promoting Hope,” celebrating the tireless work of caregivers and frontline workers during the pandemic, and the ways that women have provided healing and hope throughout history.

 

Please join the UWSP Libraries as we celebrate and highlight Women’s History Month through highlighted resources and collections. We also have a display in the Albertson Hall lobby.

 


The monthlong celebration of women’s history began as a weeklong recognition of women’s contributions to culture, history and society in 1978. In 1980, President Jimmy Carter issued a proclamation declaring March 8th the start of National Women’s History Week – coinciding with International Women’s Day, which began to be recognized in 1911 and continues to be celebrated annually on March 8th. In 1987, President Carter expanded the proclamation to the entire month of March, and every president since has honored the annual recognition.
