Yolo County Women's History Month

"I thoroughly enjoy the Women's History Month luncheons. I have reflected on my own parents' commitment to recognizing the importance of our history and how we must remember it as we change our course for the better. My dad marched in the women's suffrage parades, and my mom, when she was young, started a group of diverse women interested in their cultures and histories. I hope this event continues to flourish."

"I thought that this year was the best so far, and I have been coming for at least ten years, or maybe longer. Everything was very well organized. The food was excellent. The speech was excellent and timely. My friends who came with me also enjoyed the event immensely. Keep doing what all of you on the committee are doing!"

Annual WHM Luncheon

The Yolo County Women's History Month luncheon will not be held this year. 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 Theme

Announcing 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.
