Walking the grounds of the National Mall in Washington, D.C. today, you will encounter war memorials and monuments honoring civil rights heroes and past presidents. You will stand in awe of the giants who have earned their place in our national story.
But you won't see the great and diverse women of American history whose bravery shaped our democracy. Of the 40 monuments, memorials, and statues on the National Mall - the most visited National Park in the United States with 36 million annual visitors - none are dedicated to American women’s history. Amongst our most iconic monuments and memorials, American women’s stories have been erased.
We're here to change that.
This is the *first-ever opportunity in our Nation's history* to build a permanent and history-defining national monument to American women in the beating heart of our Nation's Capital.
But we can't do it alone.
The Women's Suffrage National Monument will be funded in its entirety through private donations, and with the generous financial support of donors like you, every girl who visits our National Mall will finally see herself standing amongst the greatest heroes of American history.
Don't wait. We need YOUR help TODAY to build a more equal tomorrow. Will you join us?

Florence Worsham Harnly was my grandmother and early Philadelphia suffragist. In 1915 she matched in a huge parade in support of women getting the right to vote. She later described it to me as the proudest moment of her life.
