Women’s History Month is celebrated every March. It offers the chance to learn about and celebrate the contributions of women today and throughout history. The 2025 theme for the observance, “Moving Forward Together! Women Educating & Inspiring Generations,” focuses on women in both the past and present who have influenced and inspired others by dedicating their lives to education, mentorship and leadership.
Fair360’s 2025 Women’s History Month Cultural Connection Toolkit focuses on how women empower themselves and other women with solidarity, mentorship and collaboration in the workplace. It also provides an overview of methods modern companies use to educate and boost the careers of women in their workforces. You’ll also find useful facts, figures and a timeline of critical events in women’s history.
First established as a local celebration called Women’s History Week in Sonoma County, CA, in 1978, the event was recognized in 1980 at the national level by President Jimmy Carter. He wrote at the time that when people tell the history of the United States, “Too often the women were unsung and their contributions went unnoticed. But the achievements, leadership, strength and love of the women who built America was as vital as the men whose names we know so well.”
