Every year, March is designated Women’s History Month by presidential proclamation. The month is set aside to honor women’s contributions in American history.
The League of Women Voters of South Central TX (LWVSCTX) League celebrates Women's History Month with our signature event, Women Making History.
Every woman has a story worth telling, and together, these stories weave the rich tapestry of our shared experience. Each March, the League of Women Voters of South Central Texas recognizes Women's History Month by honoring area women whose inspiring stories remind women of today and future generations that their voices and stories are a vital part of our collective history. Women Making History is our invitation to our South Central Texas community to join us in this joyful work by nominating a woman for special recognition.
In 2023, LWVSCTX kicked off our first Women Making History 2023 with an afternoon at Schulenburg's historic Senglemann Hall. That first celebration included recognition of the eight women currently serving as Mayors in our South Central Texas community, and hearing an inspiring presentation and call to action by Schulenburg native Arleas Upton Kea.
Our 2024 Women Making History event featured students from area high schools and the women they chose to honor with essays and poems by participating in our first Celebrating Women Student Writing Showcase.
In 2025, we invited community members to nominate women for special recognition. Women Making History 2025 featured presentations on the eight incredible women selected from an impressive field of nominees, and the three students whose essays were judged "best of the best" from the entries in our second annual Celebrating Women Student Writing Showcase.
In 2026, we once again invited community members to nominate women for special recogntion. Presentations recognizing seven outstanding nominees, along with presentations from four students whose essays and poems were judged "best of the best" in our Student Writing Showcase, were the highlights of the day.
We look forward to our fifth annual Women Making History event on March 14, 2027 - once again at La Grange's Historic Casino Hall.
