Summary

Senator Susan Collins introduced S.959, the Smithsonian American Women's History Museum Act, to the United States Senate on March 23, 2019. 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.
