March is Women’s History Month. It’s important because women are the guardians of culture.
There are no March U.S. national holidays. International Women’s Day (March 8) and St. Patrick’s Day (March 17) are popular holidays.
March weather is early spring. Average temperatures range from 36° – 51°F (2°-10°C), so it’s still cold.
