Celebrate Women's History Month: Home

For International Women's Day 2017, we're asking you to #BeBoldForChange
Call on the masses or call on yourself to help forge a better working world

The Museum researches, collects and exhibits the contributions of women to the social, cultural, economic and political life of our nation in a context of world history. The museum will use innovative and engaging means including permanent and online exhibits, educational programs, and outreach efforts to communicate the breadth of women's experiences and accomplishments to the widest possible audience. The sharing of this knowledge will illuminate and encourage women and men, people of all classes, races and cultures to move into the future with respect, equal confidence, greater partnership, and opportunity.

Each year, National Women' History Month is ascribed a specific theme that defines and exemplifies the women chosen to be National Women's History Month Honorees. The theme for 2017 is "Trailblazing Women in Labor and Business". According to the National Women''s History Project this year's theme honors women who have successfully challenged the role of women in both business and the paid labor force.
