BREAKING DOWN BARRIERS: The National Women’s History Museum has yet to be built on the National Mall, but with endorsement from more than 200 members of Congress, it’s only a matter of time before that dream becomes reality. The bipartisan nonprofit organization’s “Women Making History” gala was chaired by Sen. Lisa Murkowski and Rep. Linda Sanchez and honored three exceptional women: former Secretary of Agriculture Ann Veneman, former professional ballerina and founder of the Swan Dreams Project Aesha Ash, and world renowned cellist Christine Walevska. The museum is now located online (NWHM.org) where it aims to educate and empower visitors with programs that communicate the experiences and accomplishments of American women.
