Since 1980, March has been designated as a time where we celebrate and reflect upon the women who have inspired change throughout history, and recognize those who continue to fight for the fair and equitable treatment of women and girls in Berlin, Cheshire and Meriden, across our country and around the world.

President Jimmy Carter issued the first Presidential Proclamation declaring the Week of March 8, 1980 as National Women’s History Week. In 1987 Congress designated March as “Women’s History Month.”

I am thrilled to celebrate the many accomplishments of women in Connecticut and beyond throughout the month of March, and all year!

Learn more about Women's History Month and the State of Connecticut's long history of women's movements.

Let us continue to make Connecticut a safer and a fairer and more equitable place for women and girls. Join us in recognizing the achievements of women who continue to inspire us and pave the way for the next generation of female leaders and innovators.
