Women’s History is women’s right. It is an essential, indispensable heritage from which we can draw pride comfort, courage, and long range vision   

—Gerda Lerner, Women’s History Pioneer

The National Women’s History Alliance (NWHA) has and continues to offer inspiration and support for the recognition of women—women activists, women artists, women scientists, and women community leaders and women who want to rise and find their voice.

We are proud of our role in promoting women’s history and uniting women’s history efforts.

Your membership will go to support our ongoing services as well as our exciting projects in the works:

• Work to designate Women’s Equality Day as a federal holiday
• Initiate an endowment to strengthen the NWHA for the future

This is in addition to our ongoing work in serving as the national clearinghouse for multicultural American women’s history.  We need your help to widen our path in the 21st century as we continue to write women back into history. Please join today.
