In recognition of Women's History Month, the White House released President Obama's proclamation of the month of March as Women's History Month.

"American women have led movements for social and economic justice, made groundbreaking scientific discoveries, enriched our culture with stunning works of art and literature, and charted bold directions in our foreign policy."

Later in the piece, President Obama reviews the steps his administration has taken, since he took office, to support gender equality and fight discrimination. He specifically pledges his administration's support of women who wish to pursue their passions in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) fields.
