Women’s History Month and the Power of Women’s Voices

Maya Angelou once said, "each time a woman stands up for herself, she stands up for all women," and she was exactly right. Only through the efforts of previous women have any others been able to receive the recognition and celebration they have now. In fact, Women's History Month was not nationally established until the late 1980s after centuries of feeling discredited and ignored was combated by the lobbying of several groups and historians across the country.
