The Senate unanimously approved a resolution last week recognizing Idaho Women's Day as a state holiday, an idea introduced by the Idaho State Historical Society. Idaho Women's Day will be celebrated annually on March 14th.
The purpose of the holiday is to recognize the hardships women have and will continue to face throughout history. Women have made incredible landmarks in their fight for equality, however, there is still more work to be done.
Idaho Women's Day will shed light on an important topic: the need to establish equal rights for women in Idaho and in society at large.
