Women’s History Month

Celebrate with the Library

the words "celebrate women's history month" on a blue background

We celebrate Women's History Month each March, to recognize the great contributions that women have made to our nation. 

Women's History Month began in 1982, when Congress passed Pub. L. 97-28, which authorized and requested the President to proclaim the week beginning March 7, 1982 as “Women’s History Week.”

    YOU GET RIGHT INTO THE HEART OF THINGS IN ARLINGTON COUNTY!! WONDERFUL!!!! Even when I was a little kid in 1954, the Arlington Library (behind the little door in the wall on Glebe Road near Columbia Pike) was a FUN place to go to!!
