\u201cFrom the first settlers who came to our shores, from the first American Indian families who befriended them, men and women have worked together to build this nation. Too often the women were unsung and sometimes their contributions went unnoticed. But the achievements, leadership, courage, strength and love of the women who built America was as vital as that of the men whose names we know so well.\u201d<\/span><\/i> \u2014 Jimmy Carter.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Still, it wasn\u2019t until 1987 that Congress passed Public Law 100-9, turning Women\u2019s History Week into a Month-long observation.\u00a0 Between 1988 and 1994, Congress passed additional resolutions giving the Chief Executive\u2019s Office authority to proclaim this celebration every year.\u00a0 Since 1995, each President has issued an annual proclamation designating the entire month of March to honor America\u2019s women.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

So, while you certainly don\u2019t need to wait until March in order to commemorate the accomplishments of the wonderful women in your life (or anywhere else in this great nation of ours), Quiq Labs has the lesson plans you need to honor patriotic mothers, daughters, and sisters everywhere in the U.S. of A . . .<\/span><\/p>
