Celebrating Women's History Month (All Year Long!) : 2025 Theme

The National Women's History Alliance designates a yearly theme for Women's History Month.

The 2025 theme is

“Moving Forward Together! Women Educating & Inspiring Generations.” 

The aim of this theme is to recognize the historical achievements women have made to help advance society and improve out lives in all arenas, including technology, humanities, fashion, medicine, government and politics, activism and more.

Here are just a few examples: 

• Lucille Ball was the first woman to own a major studio.
• Madame Curie was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize.
• Sally Ride became the first woman to travel to space.
• Rachel Balkovec is the first woman to manage an affiliated baseball team.
• Cleopatra was the last pharaoh of Egypt.
• Margaret Sanger originated the term “birth control” and lobbied the FDA to approve the first oral contraceptive.
