Welcome
We are moving into a new phase of our growth and development of NWHM. We think our new look reflects our core values and supports our ongoing mission. We hope you do too! The National Women’s History Museum affirms the value of knowing Women’s History, illuminates the role of women in transforming society and encourages all people, women and men, to participate in democratic dialogue about our future.
