Our History is Our Strength

The National Women’s History Alliance, formerly the National Women’s History Project, is a leader in promoting Women’s History and is committed to the goals of education, empowerment, equality, and inclusion.  

Since 1980 the National Women’s History Alliance has made groundbreaking progress in accessibility of women’s history educational materials and advocacy. We share resources across the women’s history educational community, serving as a hub or clearinghouse for our partners and friends. We are best known for its leadership in founding and annually promoting Women’s History Month.

  • National publisher and clearinghouse for information and resources on multicultural women’s history
  • Source of advice and support to strengthen the network of women’s history groups and partners
  • Primary promoter of the women’s suffrage movement and Equality Day on August 26
