The American Women's History Initiative (AWHI) was launched by the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C. in 2018.
The initiative aims to collect, research, educate, and disseminate compelling historical record of the accomplishment of American women.
The initiative has its own curators who develop programs and exhibitions to showcase women's history.
AWHI focuses its research on the diverse and missing history of American women spanning every race, class, ethnicity, religion, interest, political affiliation, and geographical region.
