Give Women’s History
a
Home Next to the National Mall
In a year when many women have made history, Members of Congress have the opportunity to recognize women's successes by passing House Resolution (H.R.) 6548 and giving the National Women’s History Museum a permanent home.
Representative Carolyn B. Maloney (D-NY) introduced H.R. 6548 with bipartisan support on July 17, 2008. Now, we've launched the Right Here. Right Now. campaign so that you can make your voice heard on Capitol Hill. Help us urge Congress to pass H.R. 6548 immediately.
The National Women’s History Museum
(NWHM), founded in 1996, is a nonpartisan, nonprofit educational
institution dedicated to preserving, interpreting, and celebrating the
diverse historic contributions of women, and integrating this rich
heritage fully into our nation's history. Until legislation passes in
Congress designating a permanent museum in Washington, D.C., the NWHM
promotes women's history through its temporary exhibits, special
events, Cyber Museum, and online educational materials.
What's New?
NWHM is pleased to announce that Madelyn Jennings has joined the Board and Susan Sudman has been elected Secretary.
On August 1, NWHM launched its newest exhibit "Chinese American Women: A History of Resilience and Resistance" at the Organization of Chinese American's national conference. The exhibit is available online here.
This Week in Women's History:
August 26, 1920 - The Nineteenth Amendment was passed, granting women full voting rights.
