An Update on the National Women's History Museum

From the inbox:

There is an effort to secure a permanent home on the National Mall for the National Women’s History Museum’s. The legislative fight continues this year as Representative Carolyn B. Maloney (D-NY) re-introduced The National Women’s History Museum Act (H.R. 1700) with bipartisan support on March 25, 2009.

In the meantime, the Museum continues to operate online. At this time, the Museum’s staffers are working on two cyber exhibits – one on women in film and one on African-American women. The Museum wants to hear from YOU what subject they should cover next in their cyber museum.

If you have suggestions for potential exhibits, please visit their blog (http://www.nwhm.org/blog/index.php) and leave a comment with your recommendations. You might see them come to life in the very near future!
