Smithsonian American Women's History Museum Act introduced in the Senate
Close
PrintA bill, S.959, the Smithsonian American Women's History Museum Act, was introduced in the Senate by Senator Susan Collins to establish in the Smithsonian Institution a comprehensive women's history museum, and for other purposes. The bill cites the under representation of women in historical accounts, monuments, memorials and museums, specifically the lack of a national museum. The bill proposes to fill that gap and highlight the contributions by women to U.S. History with the establishment of the National Women's History Museum.
