Best birthday wishes to Olympic swimmer Jenny Thompson (1973-)!
Also, get ready for March's National Women's History Month next month. The celebrations started when, in 1978, the Education Task Force of the Sonoma County (California) Commission on the Status of Women created Women's History Week on the week of March 8th (which is International Women's Day). The National Women's History Project has done lots of work since; they succeded in securing a Congressional Resolution declaring a National Women's History Week in 1981, and, in 1987, NWHP "petitioned Congress to expand the national celebration to the entire month of March. Since then, the National Women's History Month Resolution has been approved with bipartisan support in both the House and Senate." You can start planning at their link here.
