Women's Manuscript Collections

First of its kind in the nation within the walls of a major museum—reveals the untold stories of women who have shaped and continue to shape the American experience. As a hub for scholarship and education, the new Center demonstrates how women across the spectrum of race, class, and culture exercised power and effected change before they could even access the ballot box. Explore women’s history through exhibitions, programs, scholarship, and immersive multimedia.

Congress approved legislation in 2016 for the creation of the first ever National Women's History Museum to be located in Washington, D.C.

The National Women’s History Project recognizes and celebrates the diverse and historic accomplishments of women by providing informational services and educational and promotional materials.
