Women Who Bloom:

Celebrating Women’s History Month

The Origins of Women’s History Month

Women’s History Month traces its roots back to 1978 when it started as a local celebration in Santa Rosa, California. The movement gained momentum, leading to President Jimmy Carter proclaiming the week of March 8 as National Women’s History Week in 1980. By 1987, Congress designated March as Women’s History Month, recognizing the invaluable contributions of women in shaping history, culture, and society.

Women Who Changed the World

Throughout history, countless women have defied expectations, broken barriers, and paved the way for future generations. Here are just a few who have made a lasting impact:

Maya Angelou – A poet, author, and activist, Angelou’s words continue to inspire individuals to embrace their voices and identities.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg – As a Supreme Court Justice, Ginsburg fought tirelessly for gender equality and legal rights.
Marie Curie – A physicist and chemist, Curie was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and remains a trailblazer in the field of science.
Frida Kahlo – Through her art, Kahlo expressed resilience, self-expression, and the struggles of womanhood.
Madam C.J. Walker – The first female self-made millionaire in the U.S., Walker revolutionized the beauty industry for Black women.

These women represent just a fraction of the countless trailblazers who have shaped our world. Their stories serve as a reminder that perseverance, passion, and vision can create lasting change.

Modern Women Redefining Success

Women today continue to break boundaries in every field. Whether in business, politics, technology, or the arts, modern women are redefining success and proving that anything is possible. Some notable contemporary women making waves include:
