Museum dedicated to the history and accomplishments of women opens in Dallas. “The heart of the Women’s Museum is its exhibits, two dozen in all, ranging from an elaborate time line of women’s achievements to a short film about female comedians and portraits of female artists and athletes.” – Dallas Morning News
- WHY A WOMEN’S MUSEUM? “Fewer than 5 percent of the nation’s historic landmarks focus on women’s achievements, the organizers point out. Fewer than 2 percent of textbooks are about women’s history. In cities known for their veneration of the past, such as Boston and Washington, few monuments to women exist.” – Washington Post
