More information
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. Although women constitute a majority of the population, their lives, achievements, and contributions are underrepresented in museums. Recognition of the achievements made by American women will promote a better understanding of our history and culture for all who visit Washington, D.C. From its founding, NWHM has worked hard towards obtaining a permanent museum site in the nation’s capital or near the National Mall. The NWHM has the support of a strong and diverse network of national organizations representing citizens throughout the country.
