NATIONAL WOMEN’S HISTORY MUSEUM Upcoming Events
Founded in 1996, the National Women’s History Museum (NWHM) is an innovative online museum dedicated to uncovering, interpreting, and celebrating women’s diverse contributions to society. A renowned leader in women’s history education, the Museum brings to life the countless untold stories of women throughout history, and serves as a space for all to inspire, experience, collaborate, and amplify women’s impact—past, present, and future. We strive to fundamentally change the way women and girls see their potential and power.
The NWHM fills in major omissions of women in history books and K-12 education, providing scholarly content and educational programming for teachers, students, and parents. We reach more than five million visitors each year through our online content and education programming and, in March 2023, mounted our first physical exhibit at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library in downtown Washington, DC, We Who Believe in Freedom: Black Feminist DC. The Museum is a nonpartisan, nonprofit 501(c)3.

I just have a couple of general comments really I’m really glad to see how many visitors the women’s history museum is having and I really appreciate the story on the holocaust and how that happens and how we need to know history. I have learned through the years that the younger members of my family, don’t even know history my brother Paul told me that he thought the holocaust never happened that they were just making it up. I was so appalled when he said that to me that I don’t think I responded, very what should I say politely, I just kinda lost it and and said Paul you, you don’t believe the holocaust happened and then dawned on me he was too young to be part of the history of World War III and and there’s probably there well, there’s plenty of people out there who would agree with him , so I’d like to of course share the article with him and a few others but I know they would just come back as I said with their conspiracy theory so I am just going to let it go but be glad that there’s other people reading it m
And I am grateful for the article on the meaning of gaslighting, because whenever I hear it, it sounds like something quite nebulous, and I’ve had trouble kind of grasping the actual meaning of it. It feels good to be so much more fully educated on it. Thanks Jean for all the work that you put into this.
