Women's
History Month, in March, is an annual declared month that highlights the
contributions of women to events in history and their accomplishments
throughout history and in contemporary society.
Growing out
of a small-town school event in California, Women’s History Month is a
celebration of women’s contributions to history, culture and society. The
United States has observed it annually throughout the month of March since
1987.
“Celebrating Women Who Tell Our
Stories” is the theme for National Women’s
History Month 2023.

The
2023 National Women’s History Theme
“Celebrating
Women Who Tell Our Stories”
The National Women’s History Alliance, which
spearheaded the movement for March being declared National Women’s History
Month, has announced the women’s history theme for 2023, “Celebrating Women Who
Tell Our Stories.”
Throughout 2023, the NWHA will encourage
recognition of women, past and present, who have been active in all forms of
media and storytelling including print, radio, TV, stage, screen, blogs,
podcasts, and more. The timely theme honors women in every community who have
devoted their lives and talents to producing art, pursuing truth, and
reflecting the human condition decade after decade.
From the earliest storytellers through
pioneering journalists, our experiences have been captured by a wide variety of
artists and teachers. These include authors, songwriters, scholars,
playwrights, performers, and grandmothers throughout time. Women have long been
instrumental in passing on our heritage in word and in print to communicate the
lessons of those who came before us. Women’s stories, and the larger human
story, expand our understanding and strengthen our connections with each other.
As in previous years, the Alliance, which is
centered in Santa Rosa, California, will encourage local communities throughout
the country to use the year’s theme to guide their own celebrations. The
NWHA will popularize national efforts through on-line celebrations, a special
magazine and thematic products that recognize and honor these brave,
accomplished and influential women who told – and continue to tell – our stories.
Today and over the years ahead, their dedication and shared desire to give
voice to the voiceless are critical to keeping us informed, entertained and
aware.

Women’s History Month 2020 theme celebrates the women who have fought for
woman’s right to vote in the United States. In recognition of the centennial of
the 19th Amendment, we will honor women from the original suffrage movement as
well as 20th and 21st century women who have continued the struggle (fighting against
poll taxes, literacy tests, voter roll purges, and other more contemporary
forms of voter suppression) to ensure voting rights for all.
The National Women’s History Alliance selects and publishes the
yearly theme. The theme for Women's History Month in 2021 captures the spirit
of these challenging times. Since many of the women's suffrage centennial
celebrations originally scheduled for 2020 were curtailed, the National Women's
History Alliance is extending the annual theme for 2021 to "Valiant Women of the
Vote: Refusing to Be Silenced.”
The year
2020 marks the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment,
guaranteeing and protecting women's constitutional right to vote. This historic
centennial offers an unparalleled opportunity to commemorate a milestone of
democracy and to explore its relevance to the issues of equal rights today. The
Women's Vote Centennial Initiative, a collaboration of women-centered
institutions, organizations, and scholars from across the US, works to ensure
that this anniversary, and the 72-year fight to achieve it, are commemorated
and celebrated throughout the United States.
