Display setting of 13 buttons celebrating Women's History

National Women's History Week was originally established by a Congressional Resolution passed in 1981. This was expanded to National Women's History Month in 1987. Women's History Month highlights and draws attention to the history of women and their contributions to America. It is celebrated during March each year, with a Congressional Resolution followed by a Presidential Proclamation. The 1985 National Women's History Week button portrayed here was issued by the National Women's History Project (NWHP).
