29Many daughters
have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.30 Favour is
deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she
shall be praised.
31 Give her of the
fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates. Proverbs 31:
29-31, KJV
March is officially designated as “Women’s History Month.”
About Women's History Month
Women’s History Month had its origins as a
national celebration in 1981 when Congress passed Pub. L. 97-28 which
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.” In 1987 after being petitioned by the National Women’s History
Project, Congress passed Pub. L. 100-9 which designated the month of March 1987
as “Women’s History Month.” Between 1988 and 1994, Congress passed additional
resolutions requesting and authorizing the President to proclaim March of each
year as Women’s History Month. Since 1995, presidents have issued a series of
annual proclamations designating the month of March as “Women’s History Month.”
These proclamations celebrate the contributions women have made to the United
States and recognize the specific achievements women have made over the course
of American history in a variety of fields. (Read more at https://womenshistorymonth.gov/about/
