Our Mission Statement

 

Our Mission:

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.

 

Our Purpose:

Women’s history remains largely absent from school history curricula and the media. Multicultural American women especially are overlooked in most mainstream approaches to U.S. history. Our history helps us learn who we are; without it, our power and dreams are diminished. Women must not be denied their own history.

The National Women’s History Alliance, founded in 1980 as a non-profit educational organization, is committed to ensuring women’s history becomes mainstream. The NWHA is a catalyst, promoter of women’s history in K-12, content provider, and creator of a myriad of activities promoting women as leaders and influencers. The NWHA leads both local and national efforts, consults, publishes, distributes, inspires, advises, and networks with a wide variety of institutions and activists in the field. NWHA has a nationwide presence as the number one resource for information and educational material about the unfolding roles of women in American history.

Further, we commit ourselves unreservedly to the fight against racism and inequity.
