It serves as Women’s History Month and is a time to recognize the many accomplishments of women. International Women’s Day and National Girl Scout Day (don’t forget to stock up on your favorite cookies!) also take place in March. Even though it’s not a holiday—mark your calendars for daylight savings on March 13th and make sure to set your clocks an hour ahead.
