| NATIONAL WOMEN'S HISTORY MUSEUM: 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. Although women constitute a majority of the population, their lives, achievements, and contributions are underrepresented in museums. Recognition of the achievements made by American women will promote a better understanding of our history and culture for all who visit Washington, D.C. In 1999, The President’s Commission on the Celebration of Women in American History called for a women’s history museum on the Mall in Washington, DC, and specifically cited the NWHM in that role. |

| Women's Voices Raised for Social Justice: As members identify issues of social justice that are of particular concern to them, focus groups are created to work on these issues. Focus groups thoroughly research the issues, gathering facts, identifying key players, and contacting existing organizations that are already working in the area. The group then creates a list of possible actions through which members of the entire group can be pro-active. Some of these actions include writing letters or commentaries, attending meetings, disseminating information, public speaking, marching, witnessing and lobbying. Women's Voices almost always works with existing social justice organizations to support and enhance their efforts. |
