Happy Women’s History Month!
Women's History Month began in 1987, but its origins date back to 1909.
In 1909 and 1910 a plethora of immigrant New York women working in garment factories went on strike against heinous and unsafe working conditions. This strike, followed by a major factory fire in 1911, eventually pushed lawmakers to pass legislative protection for factory workers. One year later, The very first Women’s History Day was born.

Every Women's History Month has a theme?
2024’s Women's History Month theme celebrates “Women Who Advocate for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion", recognizing women who's efforts towards positive change and a positive future excludes no one in the hopes to uplift everyone!
Learn more about it on the National Women's History Alliance website!
