March is International Women’s History Month!
Women’s History month started with a single day in 1908 in New York City when thousands of women united and marched for better labor laws, conditions, and the right to vote. On February 28 1909, in a gathering organized by members of the Socialist Party, suffragists and socialists gathered again in Manhattan for what they called the first International Woman’s Day.
Women’s History Month is observed by many countries, but it was not officially recognized until 1977 by the United Nations.
Women like Abigail Adams, Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton helped shaped our society to what it is today.
Abigail Adams said “I long to hear that you have declared an independency, and, by the way, in the new code of laws which I suppose it will be necessary for you to make, I desire you would remember the ladies and be more generous and favorable to them than your ancestors. Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of the husbands. Remember, all men would be tyrants if they could. If particular care and attention is not paid to the ladies, we are determined to foment a rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any laws in which we have no voice or representation.”
As we celebrate Women’s history month, we want to ensure that we emphasize our commitment to you, our women community to help you take care of yourselves.
Let us help you take better care of yourselves.

Origins of Women’s History Month
According to the National Women’s History Alliance, March 1987 was officially declared the first Women’s History Month.
Women’s History is full of very important women that helped shape our society to what it is today, and they still change it to this very day; women like Abigail Adams and Susan B. Anthony.
Abigail Adams said “I long to hear that you have declared an independency, and, by the way, in the new code of laws which I suppose it will be necessary for you to make, I desire you would remember the ladies and be more generous and favorable to them than your ancestors. Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of the husbands. Remember, all men would be tyrants if they could. If particular care and attention is not paid to the ladies, we are determined to foment a rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any laws in which we have no voice or representation.”
Adams’s letter was one of the first steps towards the fight for equal rights for women about 150 years before the House of Representatives voted to pass the 19th Amendment. Abigail was recognized back then as a formidable woman in her own right and her union to John Adams was referred to as America’s first power.
