Women’s history gets a permanent exhibit at the New-York Historical Society
Women’s role in American history is finally getting a permanent museum exhibit, the first of its kind not just in New York City but the country. The New-York Historical Society will open the Center for Women’s History on its newly transformed fourth floor on International Women’s Day, March 8. While there’s no part of modern American life, from pop culture to politics, where women don’t have a prominent role, their contributions began even before the nation’s founding and are just now being recognized.
