L. 97-28 which authorized and requested the President to proclaim the week beginning March 7, 1982 as \u201cWomen\u2019s History Week.\u201d Throughout the next five years, Congress continued to pass joint resolutions designating a week in March as \u201cWomen\u2019s History Week.\u201d In 1987 after being petitioned by the National Women\u2019s History Project, Congress passed Pub. L. 100-9 which designated the month of March 1987 as \u201cWomen\u2019s History Month.\u201d Between 1988 and 1994, Congress passed additional resolutions requesting and authorizing the President to proclaim March of each year as Women\u2019s History Month. Since 1995, presidents have issued a series of annual proclamations designating the month of March as \u201cWomen\u2019s History Month.\u201d These proclamations celebrate the contributions women have made to the United States and recognize the specific achievements women have made over the course of American history in a variety of fields. <a href=\"https:\/\/womenshistorymonth.gov\/about\/\">https:\/\/womenshistorymonth.gov\/about\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Stop by Smith Library to read some of the following books on display on additional historic firsts of women:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12215\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12215\" style=\"width: 133px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hpulibraries.on.worldcat.org\/oclc\/1199056953\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12215\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highpoint.edu\/library\/files\/2021\/04\/kamala-199x300.jpg\" alt=\"kamala\" width=\"133\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.highpoint.edu\/library\/files\/2021\/04\/kamala-199x300.jpg 199w, https:\/\/www.highpoint.edu\/library\/files\/2021\/04\/kamala-678x1024.jpg 678w, https:\/\/www.highpoint.edu\/library\/files\/2021\/04\/kamala-768x1159.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.highpoint.edu\/library\/files\/2021\/04\/kamala-1018x1536.jpg 1018w, https:\/\/www.highpoint.edu\/library\/files\/2021\/04\/kamala-1357x2048.jpg 1357w, https:\/\/www.highpoint.edu\/library\/files\/2021\/04\/kamala-629x950.jpg 629w, https:\/\/www.highpoint.edu\/library\/files\/2021\/04\/kamala-520x780.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.highpoint.edu\/library\/files\/2021\/04\/kamala.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 133px) 100vw, 133px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12215\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hpulibraries.on.worldcat.org\/oclc\/1199056953\"><em>Kamala\u2019s Way:<br \/>an American Life<br \/><\/em><\/a> by Dan Morain.<br \/>Kamala Harris,<br \/>the first female,<br \/>first Black,<br \/>and first<br \/>South-Asian<br \/>vice president<br \/>in U.S. history.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12218\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12218\" style=\"width: 175px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hpulibraries.on.worldcat.org\/oclc\/871358893\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12218\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highpoint.edu\/library\/files\/2021\/04\/bb6.png\" alt=\"bb6\" width=\"175\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12218\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hpulibraries.on.worldcat.org\/oclc\/871358893\"><em>Hard Choices<\/em><\/a> by<br \/>Hillary Rodham Clinton.<br \/>Hillary Clinton,<br \/>the first female<br \/>presidential nominee<br \/>of a major<br \/>party in 2016.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12221\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12221\" style=\"width: 136px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hpulibraries.on.worldcat.org\/oclc\/58808431\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12221\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highpoint.edu\/library\/files\/2021\/04\/bbbbb-204x300.jpg\" alt=\"bbbbb\" width=\"136\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.highpoint.edu\/library\/files\/2021\/04\/bbbbb-204x300.jpg 204w, https:\/\/www.highpoint.edu\/library\/files\/2021\/04\/bbbbb.jpg 339w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 136px) 100vw, 136px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12221\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hpulibraries.on.worldcat.org\/oclc\/58808431\"><em>Janet Guthrie:<br \/>a life at<br \/>full throttle<br \/><\/em><\/a> by Janet Guthrie.<br \/>Janet Guthrie,<br \/>the first woman<br \/>to drive in<br \/>the Indy 500<br \/>in 1977.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12224\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12224\" style=\"width: 134px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hpulibraries.on.worldcat.org\/oclc\/1253893\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12224\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highpoint.edu\/library\/files\/2021\/04\/bb8.png\" alt=\"bb8\" width=\"134\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12224\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hpulibraries.on.worldcat.org\/oclc\/1253893\"><em>Edith Wharton:<br \/>a biography<\/em><\/a> by<br \/>R.W.B.
