Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum

We are the Smithsonian American Women's History Museum. We passionately believe that we all benefit from a deeper historical understanding of our nation. Our museum expands the story of America through the often-untold accounts and accomplishments of women—individually and collectively—to better understand our past and inspire our future. Our mission is to create space for women's history on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., deepen our nation's stories, and inspire conversation, connection, and change. Our ultimate vision is a more representative history, a more collective future. Women's history is American history.
