 history2 ,whereas in #aiha1 responding 
to the growing popularity of women's    
history celebrations1 ,congress passed a
 resolution making ,women's ,history

during this time1 using information     
provided by the ,national ,women's      
,history ,project1 founded in ,sonoma   
,county1 ,california1 thousands of

this rich heritage fully into the       
,nation's teachings and history books2
