Through our Heritage Months, we recognize the history and contributions of various cultures by providing education and context as well as employee recognition, deeply rooted in storytelling around food, family, and tradition.

In 1981, Congress authorized and requested the president to proclaim the week beginning March 7, 1982 as “Women’s History Week.” Throughout the next five years, Congress continued to pass joint resolutions designating a week in March as “Women’s History Week.” After years of petitioning by the National Women’s History Project, Congress designated the month of March 1987 as “Women’s History Month.” Every president since has proclaimed March as such.
