Every March, in the United States, everyone acknowledges Women’s History Month. This is to recognize the achievements made and the contributions of women throughout history. This month gives the spotlight to the women who have had a major impact in the areas such as, sports, politics, and science. Schools and communities may have lessons or do certain activities about to honor the important female figures who have made an impact on the world today.

National Women’s History Alliance helps to lead the celebration every year by choosing a theme and promote education about women’s achievements. Historical figures such as Amelia Earhart, and Rosa Parks are often the main two highlighted during this months due to both having groundbreaking work and pull on future generations.
