Welcome to an enlightening episode of the Breakfast Club of SandiCare Podcast, where we not only commemorate National Women’s History Month but also take a quick detour through global events and trivia. Journey with us as we delve into why March is designated as Women's History Month and the noteworthy figures who championed its establishment.

Why is Women's History Month celebrated in March? In the 1970s, the Sonoma County (California) Education Task Force started the Women's History Week to raise awareness about women's contributions to history. This initiative eventually gained momentum and led Congress in 1987 to declare March as National Women's History Month in perpetuity. Each year a special presidential proclamation honors the significant accomplishments of American women.

Did you know that International Women's Day was first recognized in Europe and Women's History Month is celebrated differently in Canada? Or that some countries officially observe International Women's Day as a holiday? Let's explore these fascinating revelations together.

We also touch on St. Patrick's Day, recollect fun facts about the movie industry, and share some strange and intriguing news pieces. Equipped with the fascinating trivia we bring you, you’ll never look at world events and historic commemorations the same way again.

Close the episode with us as we leave you with an inspiring quote by Carol Burnett, "When you have a dream, you've got to grab it and never let it go". Join us at the Breakfast Club of SandiCare Podcast for a blend of history, fun, and unforgettable moments.
