At the time, Congress passed a resolution authorizing the president to proclaim the week beginning March 7 as the time to celebrate women. Over the next few years, Congress passed resolutions authorizing the president to proclaim the entire month of March as "Women's History Month." Presidents have issued annual proclamations for March as Women's History Month since 1995.
