March 2010 Women's History Month Theme: Writing Women Back into History

2010 will be the 30th anniversary of the National Women’s History Project. The Project began the mobilizing the lobbying effort that resulted in President Carter issuing a Presidential Proclamation declaring the week of March 8, 1980 as the first National Women’s History Week. In 1987, another lobbying effort resulted in Congress expanding the week into a month, and March is now National Women’s History Month. The overarching theme for 2010 and the Project's 30th Anniversary celebration is Writing Women Back into History.
