How did Women's History Month begin?

In 1978 an education task force in Sonoma County, California, planned a Women's History Week around March 8. The idea spread, and the sheet follows how it became a national week and then a month.

How do students use the timeline?

They write each year in the top box and the letter of its event in the bottom box, from earliest to latest. Then they answer questions that connect the events.
