Always Making History: Women’s Stories in Smithsonian Collections

The 116th Material Culture Forum with the Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum and the American Women’s History Initiative present a look at the five-year impact of AWHI and a vision of the future SAWHM. Hear from the Initiative’s staff, listen to curators from across the institution, and learn about the ways in which the Smithsonian seeks to tell a broad, inclusive narrative about the history of women in America.
