   Thank you. What about things like – National Womens Day or Presidents Day. Where do you put the apostrophe. Women is already plural. Is it Women’s?

     National Womens Day and Presidents Day is National Women’s Day and Presidents Day is Presidents’ Day. See item 4 for the possessive of plural nouns like Women.
