Review for National Womens History Museum, Alexandria, VA, USA
I was shocked at the amount of women's history I never knew. I am a history geek and was looking for this information from High School through College and beyond but it was missing. It has been left out of our textbooks, our museums, our parks...everything, but this group is fighting to bring it into the mainstream. The stories of women as individuals who did great things and amazing group efforts by women that helped make America great are fascinating. Some of the stories are shocking...some are joyful ...all are interesting!! They are also influencing women's history to be discovered and spotlighted in other countries as well ! They are very careful with their donor's money.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Get them more money to finish all the online exhibits they have planned and finish the overhaul of their website (in process). I would expand their speaker's bureau as well and look at doing more traveling exhibits while they work to find a site for the physical museum....

Review for National Womens History Museum, Alexandria, VA, USA
This organization has multiple kinds of programs; speaker's bureau, traveling exhibits, lecture series, online exhibtis that contain information found nowhere else. Their work is life changing and ground breaking.
It took them 15 years to find a site worthy of their subject matter and now they have bipartisan support to get Congress to act to give them a permanent home. We look forward to them joining the other great museums on the National Mall to show that America truly honors their women.

Review for Empowered Women International, Inc., Alexandria, VA, USA
Marga has been incredibly innovative in her training program and counseling for some of the most disadvantaged in this area. Truly an inspiration to us all! EWI has brought together a wide range of citizens who would never have met any other way in order to pool their skills to help our underserved immigrant population.
