We are building the first monument on the National Mall dedicated to American Women's History

Follow our progress
Lucy Branham (1892-1966), American suffragist, in prison uniform speaking at a meeting during the National Woman's Party 'Prison Special' tour in 1919. Branham had been imprisoned in the Occoquan Workhouse in 1917 for picketing outside the White House. Imprisoned suffragists toured the country by train in 1919 raising awareness and support for women's suffrage.

The monument will commemorate the suffragists who secured women’s right to vote, catalyzed a movement for change, and transformed American democracy.
