March 2025 revolt

March is Women's History Month - a time dedicated to honoring the remarkable contributions of women throughout history. 

The Library of Congress, National Archives and Records Administration, National Endowment for the Humanities, National Gallery of Art, National Park Service, Smithsonian Institution and United States Holocaust Memorial Museum join in commemorating and encouraging the study, observance and celebration of the vital role of women in American history. 

In February 1980, Jimmy Carter issued the first Presidential Proclamation
declaring the Week of March 8th, 1980, as National Women’s History Week.

The theme for Women's History Month 2025 is Moving Forward Together! Women Educating and Inspiring Generations.
