Women’s History Month in Fayette and Greene Counties, Pennsylvania

Women’s History Month had its beginnings in 1982, when the US Congress authorized that the second week of March be declared Women’s History Week. So, on March 7, 1982, President Ronald Reagan made that declaration. Then, in 1987, the National Women’s History Alliance petitioned the US Congress to designate the entire month of March as Women’s History Month. You can learn more about Women’s History Month at the Women’s History Month website. https://womenshistorymonth.gov Here, you will find access to films and videos, book reviews, and a calendar of events.

Women contribute to all areas of society, and White Diamond Realty salutes the women of Fayette and Greene Counties in Pennsylvania.

The timing of Women’s History Month coincides with International Women’s Day (celebrated March 8 in 2021). https://www.internationalwomensday.com This year, you can find both local and virtual events to share with friends, family, and colleagues.

To celebrate locally, consider patronizing women-owned businesses. And remember, many women-owned businesses remain affected by the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns, so your support can help them get back on their feet as restrictions lift. This is particularly true of coffee shops, cafes, and restaurants. But, other affected businesses include child-care and tutoring centers, local event centers, gyms, and locations offering group classes. But, you may not always know which companies are women-owned, so here are some resources to help you:
