A noted scholar once said “Who runs the world? Girls.”
Yet we have just one month to celebrate our contributions to society. In 2020, Congress passed a long-overdue bill to establish an official Women’s History Museum in Washington, D.C. Until then, these are the museums and sites across the country that pay homage to the trailblazers among us.
There’s the Pioneer Woman Museum, where the multicultural, revolutionary women of Oklahoma are the subject of the exhibits, and a historic 17-foot-tall, 12,000-pound bronze sculpture of a young pioneer mother stands out front. And the Maryland Museum, dedicated to preserving Harriet Tubman’s memory.
Or you can browse through thousands of works by female artists like Louise Bourgeois, Mary Cassatt, and Amy Sherald at the National Museum of Women in the Arts in DC. Click the link in our bio for the full list of plces you can pay homage to trailblazing women.
