2025 Women’s History Month

Seven women are lined up in two rows, they are all illustrated in profile looking towards the same direction. White and neon pink text reads, “Women’s History Month.” All set in a bright pink background.

Starting in 1981, Congress passed a public law that authorized and formally requested for the President to proclaim one specific week in March as “Women’s History Week.” Over the next five years, Congress continued to work towards what would eventually become Women’s History Month, a monthlong celebration and recognition of women’s achievements and contributions in history. At San Diego Public Library we celebrate and honor this month with programs, resources and booklists.
