Moving Forward Together! Women Educating & Inspiring Generations

The 2025 theme spotlights the contributions women have made to the American educational system, the free marketplace of ideas, and the very fabric of our democracy.

Moving Forward Together! Women Educating & Inspiring Generations celebrates the collective strength and influence of women who have dedicated their lives to education, mentorship, and leadership. Through their efforts, they have served as an inspiration for all generations —both past and present.

A Proclamation on Women’s History Month, 2025

      Every day, without fame or fanfare, women inspire, support, and strengthen their families, communities, and our country.  Women’s History Month presents a great opportunity to celebrate the tremendous impact women continue to have on our Nation. 

      NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim March 2025 as Women’s History Month.  I call on all Americans to celebrate the exceptional women in their lives and around our country.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this sixth day of March, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-five, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-ninth.
