March is women’s history month and it has been since 1987 when Congress passed a joint resolution declaring it so. But it wouldn’t have if not for the work of—yup, you guessed it—some determined, hard-working and trailblazing women historians. These women were intent on rewriting a more inclusive, more accurate, American history that would recognize the achievements and contributions of women. Their path to Congressional action was not easy, and in many ways their work to better tell women’s history continues today. You can read all about them and their efforts in this informative piece from National Geographic. A fitting way, we think, to celebrate this month.
