Give Women’s History a Home Next to the National Mall
Last year, many women made history. In 2009, Members of Congress will have the opportunity to recognize women's successes by passing
H.R. 1700, The National Women's History Museum Act, giving NWHM a permanent home.
Representative Carolyn B. Maloney (D-NY) re-introduced The National Women's History Museum Act (H.R. 1700) with bipartisan support on March 25, 2009. Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) will re-introduce the companion Senate bill shortly. 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 The National Women's History Museum Act immediately.
- Write to your Representative and ask them to pass The National Women's History Museum Act now.
- Show your support by displaying our Right Here. Right Now. badge online.
- NWHM Media Page.

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.
