 Happy Women's History Month!

 Did you know that Women's History month has a theme every year? This year in the US, the National Women's History Alliance theme is centered on "Women who advocate for equity, diversity, and inclusion." Elle Naturalle supports all businesses especially women owned who advocate for this year's theme. Women's History month colors are purple, green and white in honor of the women who've paved the way and continue to do so today.  The use of the colors represent women's roots in the suffrage movement in England. 

History- 

"Women’s History Month is a dedicated month to reflect on the often-overlooked contributions of women to U.S. history. From Abigail Adams to Susan B. Anthony, Sojourner Truth to Rosa Parks, the timeline of women’s history milestones stretches back to the founding of the United States.

The actual celebration of Women’s History Month grew out of a weeklong celebration of women’s contributions to culture, history and society organized by the school district of Sonoma, California, in 1978. Presentations were given at dozens of schools, hundreds of students participated in a “Real Woman” essay contest and a parade was held in downtown Santa Rosa.

A few years later, the idea caught on within communities, school districts and organizations across the country. In 1980, President Jimmy Carter issued the first presidential proclamation declaring the week of March 8 as National Women’s History Week. The U.S. Congress followed suit the next year, passing a resolution establishing a national celebration. Six years later, the National Women’s History Project successfully petitioned Congress to expand the event to the entire month of March."
