Thank you to Meryl Streep for standing up for women's history with this incredible gift! When powerful forces are working to diminish and erase women's contributions, telling women's stories isn't just important -- it's an act of resistance.

"Today, we are proud to announce a landmark seven-figure gift from Meryl Streep to the National Women's History Museum.

Throughout her extraordinary career, Meryl has brought to life some of history's most iconic and complex women—from Margaret Thatcher and Julia Child, to Katharine Graham and Karen Silkwood. She has spent decades ensuring that women's stories are told with depth, nuance, and humanity.

Now, she is taking that commitment off the screen and into the future of how America learns and celebrates its history.

One of the Museum's earliest and most steadfast supporters, Meryl’s incredible generosity will help us expand how women’s stories are told through new digital content, educator programs scaling to classrooms nationwide, and a major surge in national visibility as the United States approaches its 250th anniversary. This investment helps ensure the story we tell about our nation is fuller, truer, and more complete.

'History is shaped not only by those who make it, but by those who ensure it is remembered,' said Meryl Streep. 'The National Women’s History Museum has long been a catalyst for bringing forward the stories that deepen our understanding of who we are. I am proud to continue supporting this essential work so that future generations inherit a history that is both truthful and complete.'

Meryl believes women’s stories must be fully recognized, taught, and remembered. So do we.

'As one of the most influential storytellers of our time, Meryl Streep has spent her career illuminating the depth, complexity, and power of women’s lives,' said Susan D. Whiting, Chair of the Board of the National Women’s History Museum. “Her extraordinary generosity, paired with her unwavering commitment to truth, equity, and education, reflects the very mission of this Museum.'" -- via the National Women's History Museum

Happy ! ✨ For 30 years, the NWHM has worked to ensure that women’s history is visible, accessible, and fully integrated into the story of our nation.

This work is not secondary to American history. It *is* American history.

This month (like every month!), we're excited to engage with our communities through virtual programming, amplify women's achievements across all fields, and spotlight lesser-known trailblazers, including:

✈️ Hazel Ying Lee, the first Chinese American woman to fly for the U.S. military, serving as a Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) ferry pilot during World War II

🗣️ Susette LaFlesche Tibbles (Bright Eyes), an Omaha woman who spent her entire life tirelessly campaigning for Native American rights as a speaker, activist, interpreter, and writer

📰 Nellie Bly, whose undercover reporting not only raised awareness about mental health treatment and led to improvements in institutional conditions, but also ushered in an age of investigative journalism

🪸 Joan Murrell Owens, the first Black woman marine biologist, geologist, and paleontologist who discovered a new genus of button coral

🏳️‍🌈 Laura M. Esquivel, a lifelong activist and cofounder of Latino(a) Le***an and Gay Organization (LLEGÓ) who's often referred to as “La Madre” of the Latino LGBTQ+ movement

🗽 Emma Lazarus, a Jewish American writer and activist whose words “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,” are almost as well-known as the Statue of Liberty they're engraved on

🎨 Edmonia Lewis, the first professional Black and Native American sculptor in the U.S. who used her art to depict the stories of women and Indigenous people with reverence and beauty

⚖️ Sylvia Mendez, who, at age 8, played an instrumental role in Mendez v. Westminster, the landmark 1946 case that successfully ended de jure segregation in California

🪖 Maya Lin, a renowned artist and architect who began her career creating the Vietnam War Memorial at 21 years old after winning a national search competition with her innovative minimal design
