House approves plan to create US women's history museum

British scientists created a 3D model of the mummy’s voice box and synthesized his voice.WASHINGTON -- Three years after the opening of the Smithsonian's landmark Museum of African American History and Culture, momentum is building toward the creation of a museum dedicated to American women's history.

“Seeing role models doing things we all aspire to can change the course of someone’s life,” said Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., one of the bill's principal sponsors."Women and men of all ages deserve to see and be inspired by the remarkable women who helped shape this nation.” Linda St. Thomas, spokeswoman for the Smithsonian, said the existing museum network already makes a point of showcasing the historical contributions of American women through displays in venues like the African American museum, the Air and Space Museum and the Museum of American History. A new facility, she said, would naturally gather some of these existing artifacts and displays together while developing its own dedicated programming.

A similar bill, co-sponsored by Democrat Dianne Feinstein of California and Maine Republican Susan Collins, is working its way through the Senate. The senators' staffs did not immediately respond to questions about the status of the bill.

That’s what they consider taking action. Let USAMC remain format for months for this.

What a pity I have never been to the USA though I have received the travel visa my about three years.I'm really happy to see the status of contemporary social and cultural consciousness, self-confidence of women.

Great, I'm sure the obstructionist GOP majority Senate will welcome that and pass it immediately right after the ~400 other 'kitchen table' bills. What a colossal waste of time & resources by the House as the GOP's cancerous growth of fascism spreads in front of our eyes.

It will die in the Senate

There isn’t already a women’s history museum? I’m legit surprised actually.

20T+ in debt and they still spend $$ on wants, not needs.

Add it to the 400 sitting on Mitch McConnell’s desk. Hard to get excited about house legislation with Moscowmitch at the helm. GOP

One would think they were a different species as clannish as they are...

Great use of taxpayer dollars.

WE ARE NOT IMPRESSED
