The National Women’s History Museum in Washington, DC Do you want to honor a woman you know-your grandmother, mother, wife, friend, or colleague? The National Woman's History Museum has an interesting project called, The Chronicle of American Women, where you can honor the legacy created by a woman you know (they request a fee), or you can read about other women for free.
Go to www.nwhm.org and learn what is happening in our nation’s capital with women and history. They are well sponsored by numerous foundations and corporations and a permanent building in Washington, DC for The National Woman’s History Museum will be established.
