March is Women's History Month!
The national celebration of Women's History Month originated in 1981. The Library of Congress shares the history of the presidents issuing proclamations to urge citizens to recognize and study the contributions of women to United States history.
What's on the 6th Floor will be paying tribute to the generations of women who have contributed to history.
