Women’s History Month was established by Congress in 1987. In his March 1987 proclamation, President Ronald Reagan stated: “I call upon all Americans to mark this month with appropriate observances to honor the achievements of American women.”
Next month, PEF will host a series of Zoom programs each Tuesday in March, as well as recognize and honor Everyday PEF Heroines in the April issue of The Communicator.
To nominate a PEF heroine, visit https://www.pef.org/everyday-pef-heroine/ and submit your nomination by March 31. The first 100 members nominated will receive a Rosie the Riveter button and certificate.
