Women's History

Alice Fest is a film & media festival with work by women in recognition of Women's History Month.

Includes guides for topics such as "African American Women Authors of the Civil War Era: A Resource Guide"; "Flappers: Topics in Chronicling America"; "Rosa Parks: A Resource Guide"; and "Women's Suffrage in the Moving Image and Recorded Sound Collections".

The National Women’s Hall of Fame is the nation’s oldest membership organization dedicated to honoring and celebrating the achievements of distinguished American women.

The National Women’s History Museum currently raises awareness and honors women’s diverse experiences and achievements through its dynamic online museum, educational programs, scholarship and research.

The National Women’s History Alliance recognizes and celebrates the diverse and historic accomplishments of women by providing informational services and educational and promotional materials.

Many things have come to womankind surprisingly recently: The right to vote. The right to own property. And, perhaps less surprisingly, the existence of Women's History Month.

Beginning in the mid-19th century, several generations of woman suffrage supporters lectured, wrote, marched, lobbied, and practiced civil disobedience to achieve what many Americans considered a radical change in the Constitution – guaranteeing women the right to vote.

The Library of Congress, National Archives and Records Administration, National Endowment for the Humanities, National Gallery of Art, National Park Service, Smithsonian Institution and United States Holocaust Memorial Museum join in commemorating and encouraging the study, observance and celebration of the vital role of women in American history.

By promoting and supporting the work of women historians, we offer a concrete way to address explicit and implicit gender bias in public and professional perceptions of historical expertise. Our searchable website makes it easier to identify and connect with women historians working in a wide range of fields and professional settings.

The museum’s mission year-round is to address gender imbalance in the art world, but every March—Women’s History Month—NMWA has an opportunity to catch the attention of a wider audience to celebrate women artists.
