"The first step to creating a national women's history museum is complete," said Maloney in a release. "We have an achievable plan to build this museum that will honor the experiences and contribution of women to our great nation."
But does the country have the political will, or the funds, to make such a museum a reality? That's a fraught question. In a statement, Smithsonian Secretary David Skorton told McGlone that, "building a new museum is not practical now." However, he said, "we recognize our responsibility to make sure that women's history is appropriately represented in all our museums. Assuming the funding recommended in the report is available, we will hire additional curators to help tell the growing and evolving story of women in American history."
How many historically significant women can you name? it's likely that the number you can list off the top of your head pales in comparison to that of noteworthy men am I right.
So its not like there is a lack in facinationg and achiveing women its that we really never explore them and thats probably why we dant have history on them. Among its conclusions: Strong support for a museum that celebrates American women's history and achievements, a recommendation that the museum reflect diverse experiences and views, a plea for public and private financial support. In concusion we should all respect and try to put more time into womens history and great achievments.
