“Working to Form a More Perfect Union: Honoring Women in Public Service and
Government” is the theme for National Women’s History Month 2016.

The National Women’s History Month theme for 2016 honors women who have shaped
America’s history and its future through their public service and government leadership. Although
often overlooked and undervalued, collectively they have dramatically influenced our public policy
and the building of viable institutions and organizations. From championing basic human rights to
ensuring access and equal opportunity for all Americans, they have led the way in establishing a
stronger and more democratic country.
