"I have attended the luncheons for several years. My mother, though she did not have the opportunity to attend college, was an independent woman who was very interested in the history and culture of her family and her community. It is encouraging to see that spirit continue, not only in the women of my family, but also in our Yolo County community."

"This annual event ... is a perfect opportunity to highlight all the wonderful ways the women of Yolo County have contributed to and shaped our county. Without them, where would we be?"

The committee is concentrating all its efforts in preparation for its milestone event commemorating the centennial of the 19th Amendment, when women won the right to vote. However, the committee has a luncheon date set for next year--March 12, 2020. More details will be available here as the event date approaches. 2020 ThemeAnnouncing the 2020 national theme for Women's History Month: VALIANT WOMEN OF THE VOTE. Our 2020 theme celebrates the women who have fought for woman's right to vote in the United States. In recognition of the centennial of the 19th Amendment, we will honor women from the original suffrage movement as well as 20th- and 21st-century women who have continued the struggle (fighting against poll taxes, literacy tests, voter roll purges, and other more contemporary forms of voter suppression) to ensure voting rights for all.
