S. 2129 Introduced in the Senate

Representative Carolyn B. Maloney (D-NY) said, "There are museums for stamps and spies, for news and for poetry--but today's action by the House means women are on our way toward a 'museum of our own'.  What women have contributed to the building of our country is a story long overdue for the telling."

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) re-introduced the companion Senate bill (S. 2129) on October 29,2009. 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. 

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.
