Janet L Yellen: Remarks on Women’s History Month Remarks by Ms Janet L Yellen, Chair of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, at the Women’s History Month Reception, US Capitol, Washington DC, 25 March 2014.
*  *  *  It’s an honor and a pleasure for me to be here with you to mark Women’s History Month, which itself has some history behind it. March 8, 1911 was the first International Women’s Day, and it was 1980 when President Carter established National Women’s History Week. In 1987, Congress acted to make that week a full month.
