A nonbinding House resolution recognizing March 2026 as National Women’s History Month.

It recounts historical milestones in women’s history and suffrage, names notable women and organizations, and endorses the month’s 2026 theme, "Leading the Change: Women Shaping a Sustainable Future." The resolution expresses support for the goals and ideals of the observance and honors those who promote teaching women’s history.
