Jill Biden is also expected to attend the event, alongside Kamala Harris, the vice president, and second gentleman Doug Emhoff.
Since 1995, presidents have issued a series of annual proclamations designating the month of March as “Women’s History Month” to celebrate “the contributions women have made to the United States”.
“During Women’s History Month, we celebrate the countless women who have fought tirelessly and courageously for equality, justice, and opportunity in our nation,” a White House statement, published last month, read.
“We also reaffirm our commitment to advancing rights and opportunities for women and girls in the United States and around the world.”
Wednesday’s White House reception started at 5pm eastern time.
