declaring March 2021 as Women's History Month; and
WHEREAS, the proclamation recognizes as follows: "Courageous women marched for
and won the right to vote, campaigned against injustice, shattered countless barriers, and
expanded the possibilities of American life. Our history is also replete with examples of the
unfailing bravery and grit of women in America, particularly in times of crisis and emergency.
Women served our Nation during World War II, led organizing and litigation efforts during the Civil
Rights movement, and represented the United States on the global stage in the fight for human
rights, peace, and security"; and
WHEREAS, International Women's Day is celebrated globally on March 8th of each year,

as "Women in leadership: Achieving an equal future in a COVID-19 world," in recognition of the
uniquely important roles of women during the COVID-19 pandemic: "Women stand at the front
lines of the COVID-19 crisis, as health care workers, caregivers, innovators, community
organizers and as some of the most exemplary and effective national leaders in combating the
pandemic. The crisis has highlighted both the centrality of their contributions and the
disproportionate burdens that women carry."
