Representative Carolyn B. Maloney (D-NY) said, "There are museums for stamps and spies, for news and for poetry--but today's action by the House means women are on our way toward a 'museum of our own'. What women have contributed to the building of our country is a story long overdue for the telling."

Representative Carolyn B. Maloney (D-NY) re-introduced The National Women's History Museum Act (H.R. 1700) with bipartisan support on March 25, 2009. Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) re-introduced the companion Senate bill (S. 2129) on October 29,2009. We've launched the Right Here.

3. I got it back to even.

Sure, Susan Collins is a complete tool, but a womens museum is a good thing.

I remember watching the HBO movie, I think it was "Iron Jawed Angels" about the women in the suffrage movement. They didn't give up.

And coincidentally, the Hart Senate Office Building, has an entire corner boxed off to preserve the house they used for their headquarters. Instead of a square building, a corner is built to preserve the house.
